- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hugo Energize Spray is moderate on both, Black Horse moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHugo Energize Spray first, then Black Horse over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
