- Flowers over greenCarat brings floral; Number One Intense brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral, green, sweet and yellow floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Number One Intense is long lasting and moderate, Carat moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOne spray of each, on different spots.Neither is clearly deeper or stronger, so start even. Adjust to taste.
