Kenneth Cole Black and Swiss Army Altitude

Thread Starter 
I've rotated many frags this winter, including Cole Black and Altitude.
I've owned a mini of Black for some time now. I just recently
decided to purchase Altitude. I notice a strong similarity between
these two. I just did a left arm/right arm test sniff. I wasn't
swayed.

Does anyone else own these two frags? Are you regretting it?
I wish I would have gotten something else. Maybe some Polo modern Reserve.

Which one has better sillage and longevity. I used to own black and loved it, it was gone from my skin literally 30 min later

Swiss Army Altitude stays on me until I scrub it off. And I find two sprays about as much I can handle.

Testing the two together, I think KC is a little sweeter.

I recently read that Bobby Jones is very similar to Altitude. I haven't tried it, but I do have KC's Black (on my swap list). BJ is very similar to Jovan's Ginseng NRG, actually, though I think BJ is a bit more complex and "natural" smelling. There is clear lavender in Black, and it is not similar to BJ, which is quite "green" and grassy. Black is more incense than green. It lasts well on my skin, but then again almost everything does.
