- Flowers over greenMediterranean Breeze brings floral; Habit Rouge L'Instinct brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mediterranean Breeze is moderate on both, Habit Rouge L'Instinct moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMediterranean Breeze first, then Habit Rouge L'Instinct over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
