- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, musky, powdery and animalic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Maximus 2020 is long lasting and strong, Carbon long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCarbon first, then Oud Maximus 2020 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
