- Flowers over greenScandal brings floral; Sandan – Pure Essence brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list orange blossom, musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Scandal is long lasting and moderate, Sandan – Pure Essence long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointScandal first, then Sandan – Pure Essence over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
