- Sweet meets spiceOud Sublime brings amber; Sable Or brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, amber and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sable Or is long lasting and strong, Oud Sublime eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSable Or first, then Oud Sublime over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
