- A shared threadWoody, rose, balsamic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: My New York is long lasting and moderate, Ambra Eau de Parfum long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmbra Eau de Parfum first, then My New York over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
