- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAnimalic, musky, white floral and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Mon Cuir in fall and winter and Power Self in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mon Cuir is moderate on both, Power Self moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMon Cuir first, then Power Self over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
