- A shared threadCitrus, sweet, white floral and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1873 is moderate on both, Flor de la Virgen moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFlor de la Virgen first, then 1873 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
