- Light over deepParagon brings aromatic; Magnetic Blend 1 brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadPowdery runs through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Magnetic Blend 1 is long lasting and moderate, Paragon long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMagnetic Blend 1 first, then Paragon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
