- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, amber and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Envy for Men is long lasting and moderate, Black Tide long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack Tide first, then Envy for Men over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
