The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Bulgarian Rose, blue is Rêve Elixir. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Flowers over greenBulgarian Rose brings floral; Rêve Elixir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list pear and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, fresh, fruity and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bulgarian Rose is long lasting and moderate, Rêve Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRêve Elixir first, then Bulgarian Rose over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
