  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put The Beat in spring and Zen Sun in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Beat is moderate on both, Zen Sun moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
