- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Voodoo Chile in fall and Bitter Splash in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Voodoo Chile is moderate on both, Bitter Splash long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVoodoo Chile first, then Bitter Splash over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
