- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mon Vetiver is moderate on both, Osmanthus Absolu moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOsmanthus Absolu first, then Mon Vetiver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
