- Opposite seasonsVoters put Yacht Mood in summer and spring and Oud Provocant in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Yacht Mood is long lasting and strong, Oud Provocant long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
