- Fresh on freshArcus brings citrus; Y Iced Cologne brings aromatic and green. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, green, fresh spicy and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Y Iced Cologne is long lasting and moderate, Arcus moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointY Iced Cologne first, then Arcus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
