- Sweet meets spiceVanilla in Bourbon brings amber; Idôle Aura brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadVanilla, powdery and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Idôle Aura in spring and summer and Vanilla in Bourbon in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Idôle Aura is moderate on both, Vanilla in Bourbon moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla in Bourbon first, then Idôle Aura over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
