- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy, amber and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Amber Wood in fall and winter and Dorade (Harrods Exclusive) in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Amber Wood is long lasting and moderate, Dorade (Harrods Exclusive) moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Wood first, then Dorade (Harrods Exclusive) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
