- Fresh on freshDelirious brings citrus; Northern Cardinal brings green and aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Delirious is eternal and enormous, Northern Cardinal moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDelirious first, then Northern Cardinal over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
