- Sweet meets spiceCaftan brings amber; Powder Flowers brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAmber and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Powder Flowers is eternal and enormous, Caftan long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPowder Flowers first, then Caftan over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
