- Notes in commonBoth list amber and bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Death is long lasting and strong, SHK I long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack Death first, then SHK I over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
