- Sweet meets spiceI Don t Know What brings amber; Velvet Tonka brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAmber, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velvet Tonka is moderate on both, I Don t Know What long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVelvet Tonka first, then I Don t Know What over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
