- Notes in commonBoth list grapefruit, patchouli and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, amber and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Especially Escada Elixir is moderate on both, LOULOU Noir weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEspecially Escada Elixir first, then LOULOU Noir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
