How the pair leans

- A shared threadFloral, powdery and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Lumen-esce in spring and Victoriana Heliotrope in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lumen-esce is moderate on both, Victoriana Heliotrope long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVictoriana Heliotrope first, then Lumen-esce over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
