- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Crush Balls in summer and spring and Encre Noire in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Crush Balls is moderate on both, Encre Noire moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEncre Noire first, then Crush Balls over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
