- Flowers over greenL'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule brings floral; Dolce Violet brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, sweet, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule in fall and Dolce Violet in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule is very weak and moderate, Dolce Violet moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Air du Temps Le Crépuscule first, then Dolce Violet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
