- Fresh on freshPretty Hot brings citrus; Invictus brings aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pretty Hot is moderate on both, Invictus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPretty Hot first, then Invictus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
