- Sweet meets spiceSentosa brings amber; Xplicit Vanilla brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadWoody, vanilla, warm spicy and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Xplicit Vanilla is long lasting and strong, Sentosa moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointXplicit Vanilla first, then Sentosa over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
