- Sweet meets spiceVanilla Extasy brings amber; Bois d'Amande brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadVanilla, woody, powdery and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois d'Amande is moderate on both, Vanilla Extasy long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla Extasy first, then Bois d'Amande over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
