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