  • A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Navigator in summer and spring and Esprit De Noel in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Navigator is moderate on both, Esprit De Noel moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
