- Light over deepBoss Bottled Marine brings aromatic; CYCLE 002 brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, warm spicy, woody and balsamic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put CYCLE 002 in fall and Boss Bottled Marine in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: CYCLE 002 is moderate on both, Boss Bottled Marine moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCYCLE 002 first, then Boss Bottled Marine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
