- A shared threadMusky, amber, powdery and fresh spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Palmetto in spring and Gypsy Water Absolu in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Palmetto is moderate on both, Gypsy Water Absolu moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGypsy Water Absolu first, then Palmetto over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
