  • Notes in commonBoth list guaiac wood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and earthy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Diapason in fall and Basso in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Diapason is eternal and enormous, Basso long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
