- Flowers over greenDonna Karan Gold Sparkling brings floral; La French brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadSweet, amber and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Donna Karan Gold Sparkling is moderate on both, La French long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLa French first, then Donna Karan Gold Sparkling over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
