- A shared threadPowdery, musky, woody and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Poudre D’Orient is long lasting and moderate, Sherwood moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPoudre D’Orient first, then Sherwood over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
