- Flowers over greenByzantine brings floral; He Wood Silver Wind Wood brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadPowdery, woody and vanilla run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Byzantine in spring and He Wood Silver Wind Wood in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Byzantine is long lasting and moderate, He Wood Silver Wind Wood long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHe Wood Silver Wind Wood first, then Byzantine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
