- Flowers over greenNolita brings floral; Steamed Rainbow brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, floral and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Steamed Rainbow is moderate on both, Nolita moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNolita first, then Steamed Rainbow over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
