- A shared threadWoody and patchouli run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Forbidden Rose is moderate on both, Gentle moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointForbidden Rose first, then Gentle over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
