- Sweet meets spiceKarleidoscope brings amber; Datura Noir brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list heliotrope, tonka bean and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadVanilla, powdery and floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Datura Noir is moderate on both, Karleidoscope moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointKarleidoscope first, then Datura Noir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
