The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Hugo Red, blue is Cowgirl Grass. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Flowers over greenCowgirl Grass brings floral; Hugo Red brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFruity, green, aromatic and tropical run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hugo Red is moderate on both, Cowgirl Grass moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHugo Red first, then Cowgirl Grass over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
