- Flowers over greenDamarose brings floral; Amber Aquilaria brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, powdery and rose run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Amber Aquilaria is long lasting and strong, Damarose long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Aquilaria first, then Damarose over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
