- A shared threadPowdery, sweet and floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Violette in Love in spring and Vanilla Bourbon in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violette in Love is moderate on both, Vanilla Bourbon moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla Bourbon first, then Violette in Love over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
