- A shared threadCitrus and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rouge Trafalgar is moderate on both, Santal Imperial moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRouge Trafalgar first, then Santal Imperial over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
