- Sweet meets spiceLakme brings amber; Essence Wenge brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, vanilla and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Essence Wenge is moderate on both, Lakme eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOne spray of each, on different spots.Neither is clearly deeper or stronger, so start even. Adjust to taste.
