- A shared threadWoody, floral and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Zen Gold in fall and DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Zen Gold is moderate on both, DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointZen Gold first, then DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
