- Light over deepSamba Natural brings citrus; Extreme 5.0 brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Extreme 5.0 is weak and moderate, Samba Natural moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointExtreme 5.0 first, then Samba Natural over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
