The blend
How the pair leans

- A shared threadFruity, sweet, powdery and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gentleman 2017 is moderate on both, Dolce Lily moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGentleman 2017 first, then Dolce Lily over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
