- A shared threadMusky, powdery, animalic and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Musk au Lait is moderate on both, Emperor moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEmperor first, then Musk au Lait over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
