- Notes in commonBoth list benzoin and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, amber, smoky and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oeillet Pourpre is long lasting and moderate, Sancti moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOeillet Pourpre first, then Sancti over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
