- Sweet meets spiceKors brings amber; Midnight Shimmer brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet, amber and fruity run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Kors is moderate on both, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMidnight Shimmer first, then Kors over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
