- Light over deepIn New York brings aromatic and citrus; Bois Martial brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois Martial is moderate on both, In New York moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois Martial first, then In New York over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
