- A shared threadWoody, earthy, amber and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Esencia Elixir is long lasting and moderate, ARC long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEsencia Elixir first, then ARC over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
