- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, balsamic and earthy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violette Fumee is moderate on both, Oudh Osmanthus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointViolette Fumee first, then Oudh Osmanthus over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
