How the pair leans

- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Modern Muse Chic is moderate on both, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Ylang Ylang Parfum first, then Modern Muse Chic over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
