- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Shalimar L'Essence is long lasting and moderate, Oud Mira long lasting and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointShalimar L'Essence first, then Oud Mira over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
