- A shared threadFruity, sweet, powdery and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Belle de Nuit is long lasting and strong, Delusions of Grandeur moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDelusions of Grandeur first, then Belle de Nuit over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
