- A shared threadAmber, aromatic, balsamic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Encens et Lavande is moderate on both, Sauvage Parfum long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixSmoky and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointEncens et Lavande first, then Sauvage Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
