- Fresh on freshBlue Hope brings citrus; Bull's Blood brings musky. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadMusky, woody, warm spicy and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bull's Blood in winter and fall and Blue Hope in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bull's Blood is long lasting and strong, Blue Hope long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBull's Blood first, then Blue Hope over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
