- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bergamot and Cedarwood in summer and spring and Bang in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bergamot and Cedarwood is long lasting and moderate, Bang moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
