- Flowers over greenIsland Bermuda brings floral; Midnight Shimmer brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list freesia and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, fruity, woody and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Island Bermuda in summer and spring and Midnight Shimmer in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Island Bermuda is weak and intimate, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMidnight Shimmer first, then Island Bermuda over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
