- Flowers over greenMalik Al Motia brings floral; Royal Extract II brings green and woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWhite floral, floral, green and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Malik Al Motia is long lasting and strong, Royal Extract II long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMalik Al Motia first, then Royal Extract II over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
