- Light over deepBoss Man brings aromatic; Boss Alive Intense brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFruity, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boss Alive Intense is moderate on both, Boss Man moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBoss Alive Intense first, then Boss Man over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
