- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadMusky, woody, powdery and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mon Cuir is moderate on both, Encre Noire Pour Elle moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMon Cuir first, then Encre Noire Pour Elle over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
