The blend
How the pair leans

- Sweet meets spiceAfterglow brings amber; Cherry In Japan brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAmber, floral, sweet and fruity run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Afterglow is weak and intimate, Cherry In Japan moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAfterglow first, then Cherry In Japan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
