- Notes in commonBoth list grapefruit, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Himalaya is moderate on both, Absolu Aventus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHimalaya first, then Absolu Aventus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
