- Flowers over greenAqua Allegoria Cherry Blossom brings floral; New Journalist brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, fresh, fruity and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Aqua Allegoria Cherry Blossom is very weak and intimate, New Journalist moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNew Journalist first, then Aqua Allegoria Cherry Blossom over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
