- Notes in commonBoth list labdanum and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadMusky, woody, aromatic and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Penguin is moderate on both, Musk Deer long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusk Deer first, then Penguin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
