- Flowers over greenRumeur 2 Rose Limited Edition brings floral; Elixir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadRose runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rumeur 2 Rose Limited Edition in spring and summer and Elixir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rumeur 2 Rose Limited Edition is moderate on both, Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointElixir first, then Rumeur 2 Rose Limited Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
