  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Flying in summer and spring and Avant Garde in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Flying is moderate on both, Avant Garde very weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
