- A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Michael for Men is long lasting and moderate, Risque long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMichael for Men first, then Risque over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
