- Flowers over greenHana Tsubaki brings floral; Ummagumma brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadPowdery runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Hana Tsubaki in spring and Ummagumma in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hana Tsubaki is very weak and strong, Ummagumma moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUmmagumma first, then Hana Tsubaki over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
