  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Chords in fall and Valero in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chords is long lasting and moderate, Valero long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
