- Flowers over greenMadison Avenue brings floral; Oud Bourbon brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFruity, floral, woody and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Madison Avenue in spring and Oud Bourbon in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Madison Avenue is long lasting and moderate, Oud Bourbon long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Bourbon first, then Madison Avenue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
