- Flowers over greenVelvet Desire brings floral; Love Hibiscus brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral and tropical run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velvet Desire is moderate on both, Love Hibiscus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLove Hibiscus first, then Velvet Desire over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
