- A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and herbal run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Verbenas of Provence in summer and spring and Feuilles de Tabac in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Verbenas of Provence is weak and intimate, Feuilles de Tabac long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFeuilles de Tabac first, then Verbenas of Provence over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
