- Sweet meets spiceOpium Parfum brings amber; Manoa brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and opoponax, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, sweet, balsamic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Manoa is long lasting and strong, Opium Parfum eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOne spray of each, on different spots.Neither is clearly deeper or stronger, so start even. Adjust to taste.
