- A shared threadCitrus runs through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cologne d'Agar is long lasting and strong, Red Vanilla Candy moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRed Vanilla Candy first, then Cologne d'Agar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
