- A shared threadSmoky, sweet and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Empire T is long lasting and moderate, Bois Talisman long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois Talisman first, then Empire T over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
