- Fresh on freshLondon Fog brings citrus; Rue de Soleil brings aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put London Fog in fall and winter and Rue de Soleil in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: London Fog is moderate on both, Rue de Soleil moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLondon Fog first, then Rue de Soleil over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
