- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Black Tide in spring and fall and Heart Of Ylang in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Black Tide is long lasting and strong, Heart Of Ylang moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack Tide first, then Heart Of Ylang over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
