- Light over deepExplorer brings citrus and aromatic; Desired Earth brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, amber and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Explorer is moderate on both, Desired Earth long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDesired Earth first, then Explorer over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
