- A shared threadAmber, woody and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Study No. 23 / Newsletter is moderate on both, In, moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointStudy No. 23 / Newsletter first, then In, over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
