- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Urban Blue is long lasting and moderate, Assam & Grapefruit moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAssam & Grapefruit first, then Urban Blue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
