- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, soft spicy, warm spicy and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velvet Crystal Smoke is long lasting and moderate, Amiri long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVelvet Crystal Smoke first, then Amiri over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
