- Flowers over greenCarat brings floral; L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadGreen, floral, fruity and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Carat is moderate on both, L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCarat first, then L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
