- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanilla Oud is long lasting and strong, L’Oud Marin long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla Oud first, then L’Oud Marin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
