- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadVanilla, powdery, sweet and fruity run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Orchidée Vanille in fall and winter and HÆC DIES in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Orchidée Vanille is moderate on both, HÆC DIES moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHÆC DIES first, then Orchidée Vanille over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
