- Notes in commonBoth list rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadRose, floral and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mitsouko Absolu 17 is very weak and intimate, Oud Monarch long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Monarch first, then Mitsouko Absolu 17 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
