- Fresh on freshNew Journalist brings citrus; So Sweet brings musky. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadFruity, woody and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: So Sweet is moderate on both, New Journalist moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSo Sweet first, then New Journalist over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
