- Notes in commonBoth list incense and myrrh, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSmoky, amber, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ching Shih is moderate on both, Bois Mystique moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChing Shih first, then Bois Mystique over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
