- A shared threadWhite floral, citrus and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Love and Tears is long lasting and moderate, Chance Eau Vive moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointChance Eau Vive first, then Love and Tears over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
