  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, citrus, earthy and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Imperia in spring and summer and Obsidian in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Imperia is moderate on both, Obsidian long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
