- Notes in commonBoth list pink pepper, bergamot, mandarin orange and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, musky, powdery and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Musc in summer and fall and Black Opium Storm Illusion in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Musc is moderate on both, Black Opium Storm Illusion moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusc first, then Black Opium Storm Illusion over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
