- A shared threadCitrus, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Totem Yellow in summer and spring and Ginza Datura in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Totem Yellow is moderate on both, Ginza Datura moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGinza Datura first, then Totem Yellow over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
