  • Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, amber and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber, yellow floral and sweet run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sensuous Parfum is long lasting and strong, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
