- Flowers over greenRosa Absolute Eau de Parfum brings floral; Lijiang brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFruity, floral and musky run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Lijiang in spring and Rosa Absolute Eau de Parfum in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lijiang is moderate on both, Rosa Absolute Eau de Parfum long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRosa Absolute Eau de Parfum first, then Lijiang over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
