- Flowers over greenPower Self brings floral; XVII Baroque Russian Coriander brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list pink pepper and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSoft spicy and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Power Self is moderate on both, XVII Baroque Russian Coriander long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPower Self first, then XVII Baroque Russian Coriander over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
