- Flowers over greenSamba for Men brings floral; Forever Vera brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, woody, musky and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba for Men is moderate on both, Forever Vera moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointForever Vera 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.
