- A shared threadAmber and musky run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Cuir de Russie II in fall and winter and Sauvage in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuir de Russie II is eternal and enormous, Sauvage long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCuir de Russie II first, then Sauvage over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
