- A shared threadFresh spicy, woody and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put 1872 Mandarin in spring and 1 Million Golden Oud in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1872 Mandarin is moderate on both, 1 Million Golden Oud long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point1 Million Golden Oud first, then 1872 Mandarin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
