  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Eau Sacree in fall and winter and Musc Impérial in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eau Sacree is long lasting and moderate, Musc Impérial moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
