How the pair leans

- Fresh on freshViolet brings citrus; Pi Neo Tropical Paradise brings green and aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh and green run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Violet in spring and Pi Neo Tropical Paradise in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violet is moderate on both, Pi Neo Tropical Paradise moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointViolet first, then Pi Neo Tropical Paradise over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
