- Light over deepExtreme Rush brings aromatic and citrus; Midnight Shimmer brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and musky run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Extreme Rush is moderate on both, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMidnight Shimmer first, then Extreme Rush over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
