- A shared threadSweet, cherry, fruity and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Ambre Rubis in winter and fall and La Petite Robe Noire Eau Fraiche in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ambre Rubis is long lasting and moderate, La Petite Robe Noire Eau Fraiche moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmbre Rubis first, then La Petite Robe Noire Eau Fraiche over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
