- Sweet meets spiceEl Born brings amber; Ambar Del Sur brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list madagascar vanilla and australian sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, vanilla, powdery and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: El Born is long lasting and moderate, Ambar Del Sur moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEl Born first, then Ambar Del Sur over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
