  • Notes in commonBoth list vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery, vanilla and floral run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Shunkoin is long lasting and moderate, Warda Al Oud eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
