- Flowers over greenPleasures Intense brings floral; Blue Matcha brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list black currant, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and fruity run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pleasures Intense is long lasting and strong, Blue Matcha long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlue Matcha first, then Pleasures Intense over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
