- Flowers over greenA Reason To Love brings floral; Mineral Blue brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadAmber, fresh and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put A Reason To Love in fall and winter and Mineral Blue in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: A Reason To Love is long lasting and moderate, Mineral Blue moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMineral Blue first, then A Reason To Love over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
