- Light over deepDKNY Summer brings aromatic and green; Extreme Speed brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, soft spicy and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put DKNY Summer in summer and Extreme Speed in fall and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: DKNY Summer is weak and moderate, Extreme Speed moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointExtreme Speed first, then DKNY Summer over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
