- A shared threadAromatic, woody and earthy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Vetyver in spring and summer and English Oak & Hazelnut in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetyver is moderate on both, English Oak & Hazelnut moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEnglish Oak & Hazelnut first, then Vetyver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
