- Light over deepHoly Cross brings aromatic; FRSH 003/FRV brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and earthy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Holy Cross in spring and FRSH 003/FRV in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Holy Cross is moderate on both, FRSH 003/FRV moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHoly Cross first, then FRSH 003/FRV over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
