- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, earthy and musky run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No 5 Parfum is moderate on both, (Metamber) moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point(Metamber) first, then No 5 Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
