Drydowns that you find to be very similar ?

I just sampled Guerlain's Vetiver for a second time in a week. This time, I realized that the reason I liked it was because the drydown was so similar to M; Men. I've also found MR to be similar to Ambra by Etro and Coromandel to be similar to Prada (original women's EdP). So, I'd like to hear about other possibilities, but only the drydown. Another is Escada Collection and Richard James, but the James is much lighter. And of all things, Neil Morris' Vault Dark Season becomes very similar to Cuba Orange after a while !

Great post, I find the dry down of Tommy Bahama to quite similar to Parah. Also though slightly spicier - Dirty English. I also found Dunhill Pure to have a similar dry down to GIT. I'm sure there are many more that I just can't think of atm.

After about 5 hours Serge Chergui and BVL pour homme Soir smell so similar.

After about 3 hours Thierry Cologne and D&G Light Blue pour femme smell almost the same.

After about 8 hours Amouage Lyric Man = D&G By Man

I forgot Polo Explorer and Adidas Victory League. Both have that syrupy vanillic woody base with a touch of grassiness. Brit for Men is more of a powdery vanillic woody drydown, but is also a bit syrupy, and similar overall.

Vintage Sagamore and Chanel pour Monsieur are very reminiscent of each other on the drydown.

Body Kouros and JPG Le Male. Actually this week I wore same shirt for two days. First day I wore Body Kouros, another day Acqua Di Gio. Second day I was in small room with coworkers and I was 100% sure that 1 of them wear Le Male and was thinking: wow, finally some men in my work that atleast use cologne even if its Le Male.. Then I left room and went to my office but the smell was still with me.. Then I realized that it was my shirt : BK mixed with ADG smelled exactly like Le Male to me.

I was wearing Bvlgari Au The Vert for the first time last week and after a few hours it was very similar to Guerlain Homme. I guess I will have to compare them directly.
