- Flowers over greenSamba for Men brings floral; Love brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, woody, musky and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Samba for Men in spring and Love in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba for Men is moderate on both, Love moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLove first, then Samba for Men over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
