- Notes in commonBoth list rose, patchouli and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, balsamic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Fleur is long lasting and moderate, Shalimar Oiseau de Paradis long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Fleur first, then Shalimar Oiseau de Paradis over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
