  • Notes in commonBoth list rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, fruity, rose and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Paradox in fall and Ma Dame It in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Paradox is moderate on both, Ma Dame It long lasting and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
