- A shared threadFloral and fresh run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Notorious in fall and winter and Red Roses Cologne (2023) in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Notorious is moderate on both, Red Roses Cologne (2023) moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNotorious first, then Red Roses Cologne (2023) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
