- A shared threadPowdery, woody and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Metal Lavender in spring and summer and Bois des Iles Eau de Parfum in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Metal Lavender is long lasting and strong, Bois des Iles Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois des Iles Eau de Parfum first, then Metal Lavender over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
