- Light over deepCosmic Pepper brings citrus and aromatic; Vermilion Wood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, sweet, aromatic and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Vermilion Wood in fall and winter and Cosmic Pepper in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vermilion Wood is moderate on both, Cosmic Pepper long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVermilion Wood first, then Cosmic Pepper over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
