I've seen some threads that compare Scent X with Scent Y, but what about scents that split the difference between two (or more) others, and why? Is there scent that's a middle ground between GIT and Tabarome (or whatever)? List 'em?

I think just about every scent out there could be seen as splitting the difference between at LEAST two others.

Magnetism splits the difference between Sentiment and L'Anarchiste. I think.

Oscar for Men splits the difference between Bulgari PH Extreme and Guerlain Vetiver. Dirtier then Bulgari PH Extreme, but not as earthy as Guerlain Vetiver.

Seems to me that Tumulte at best is what's left when you subtract Kyoto from Tam Dao . I like those two alot but I hate Iso-E-Tumulte.

OK, how about this one?
Roma Uomo splits the difference between Nicole Miller for Men and Minotaure.

Then there's always this one:
Polo Crest splits the difference between Trussardi Uomo and Polo.

Or how about this one?
Paco Rabanne XS splits the difference between Himalaya and Paco Rabanne XS Extrême.

Or this one?
Jean Pascal Pour Homme splits the difference between Devin and Passion for Men.

Then I must mention that:
Loewe Para Hombre splits the difference between Monsieur de Givenchy and Lacoste Original.

Don't forget that . . .
Gucci Rush splits the difference between Azzaro Visit and Diesel Green.

But of course:
Ungaro III splits the difference between Iquitos and Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme.

And finally:
A*men splits the difference between burning road tar and fecal matter filled with dessicated chunks of cocoa powder.

Oh, one more before I forget -- in fact, the most blatantly obvious one of all:
Rive Gauche Pour Homme splits the difference between Rive Gauche Pour Homme Light and Rive Gauche Pour Homme Intense.

I'll have to say that Millesime Imperial splits the difference between Erolfa and Green Irish Tweed. Or atleast thats my thoughts on the whole damn thing.

Sorry if this was a dumbass question. I'm still trying to figure out how things relate, and I thought this might give me some insite as to how certain scents might be alike or different.

Some scents may share the same notes as other scents. Or are comprised of different notes that give X scent the same "feel" or smell as Y scent. So I could say that Halston Unbound smells like Acqua Di Gio with a few notes or accords taken out. I would also say that Halston Unbound is the bridge between Polo Blue and Aqua Di Gio.
