- Notes in commonBoth list vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, green, woody and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Portobello Road is moderate on both, Matrix Metal long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
