- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L Eau d Issey Ettore Sottsass Edition is moderate on both, Exotic Musk long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointExotic Musk first, then L Eau d Issey Ettore Sottsass Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
