- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Essenza di Zegna Intense is moderate and enormous, Jicky Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEssenza di Zegna Intense first, then Jicky Eau de Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
