This match-up is great and also this match-up sucks. Neither team is an upset. Both make up a significant portion of my den. Both are excellent perfumers with an excellent soap base. Both artisans participate in the community. I don't want to not pick either brand.

...so I had Mrs. Mosquito do it for me. She picked the Mammoth. A fine choice, madame.

Enjoying this sample of Oriental Sans Souci. Most ambers don't feel like year-round fragrances. Reminds me of Amber Classico Modern, if it was powdery-retro, with hints of debauchery from a different era.

And with today's coffee I tried a coarse grind, removed most of the chaff, and poured a long, low-temp bloom followed by a single 70% volume pour immediately off boil.
