- Light over deepD brings aromatic; Boss Bottled brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list geranium and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, aromatic and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boss Bottled is moderate on both, D moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBoss Bottled first, then D over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
