  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic, woody and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Desire Black in fall and winter and Suit in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Desire Black is moderate on both, Suit long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
