- Notes in commonBoth list magnolia and agarwood (oud), so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadOud, floral and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Maximus is eternal and strong, Walimah eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Maximus first, then Walimah over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
