  • A shared threadFloral and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Air du Paradis in summer and Montecristo in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Air du Paradis is long lasting and strong, Montecristo long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
