- Sweet meets spiceEmpiryan brings amber; 1 Million Elixir brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadVanilla, sweet, woody and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1 Million Elixir is long lasting and strong, Empiryan long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEmpiryan first, then 1 Million Elixir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
