- Light over deepKobe brings citrus; Florabloom Absolu brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadSweet, woody and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Florabloom Absolu in fall and winter and Kobe in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Florabloom Absolu is long lasting and strong, Kobe long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFlorabloom Absolu first, then Kobe over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
