- Flowers over greenExotic brings floral; Foudroyant brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, powdery and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Exotic is long lasting and moderate, Foudroyant long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFoudroyant first, then Exotic over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
