- Light over deepThe Big Bad Cedar brings aromatic; Invictus Victory brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Invictus Victory is long lasting and moderate, The Big Bad Cedar moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Big Bad Cedar first, then Invictus Victory over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
