- Sweet meets spiceAmbar Del Sur brings amber; Black Noir brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadVanilla, sweet, woody and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Noir is long lasting and strong, Ambar Del Sur moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack Noir first, then Ambar Del Sur over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
