- Flowers over greenPower Self brings floral; Lacoste Pour Femme Timeless brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadRose, white floral and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Power Self is moderate on both, Lacoste Pour Femme Timeless moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPower Self first, then Lacoste Pour Femme Timeless over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
