- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, sandalwood, cedar and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, rose, amber and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cologne d'Agar is long lasting and strong, Parfum d'Hermes moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointParfum d'Hermes first, then Cologne d'Agar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
