- Flowers over greenRue des Lilas brings floral; Private Collection brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rue des Lilas in spring and Private Collection in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rue des Lilas is moderate on both, Private Collection 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.
