- Notes in commonBoth list amber and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, warm spicy, sweet and balsamic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Chicago Poet in winter and Desert Sermons in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chicago Poet is long lasting and strong, Desert Sermons moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDesert Sermons first, then Chicago Poet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
