  • Notes in commonBoth list lemon, bergamot, agarwood (oud) and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, citrus and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put London Oud in summer and spring and Chinese Tobacco in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: London Oud is long lasting and moderate, Chinese Tobacco moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
