- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and ginger, 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: Original Vetiver is moderate on both, Absolu Aventus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAbsolu Aventus first, then Original Vetiver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
