- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral, floral and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Paco Rabanne Pour Elle is eternal and strong, Surrounding Thread moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSurrounding Thread first, then Paco Rabanne Pour Elle over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
