- A shared threadFloral, fruity, white floral and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuir de Chine is moderate on both, Aqua Allegoria Foliflora weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAqua Allegoria Foliflora first, then Cuir de Chine over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
