- Notes in commonBoth list rose and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, amber and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Comme des Garcons is long lasting and moderate, Guidance eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGuidance first, then Comme des Garcons over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
