The blend

- Flowers over greenRed Door Velvet brings floral; Mystic Rose brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Red Door Velvet is moderate on both, Mystic Rose moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMystic Rose first, then Red Door Velvet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
