- Flowers over greenFlower Ikebana brings floral; Elixir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Flower Ikebana in spring and Elixir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Flower Ikebana is moderate on both, Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointElixir first, then Flower Ikebana over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
