- Flowers over greenJasmine Sambac & Marigold brings floral; Eau d'Ikar brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadBalsamic, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Jasmine Sambac & Marigold is moderate on both, Eau d'Ikar moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJasmine Sambac & Marigold first, then Eau d'Ikar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
