- Notes in commonBoth list benzoin, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Blonde in fall and winter and Elle Limited Edition 2011 in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Blonde is long lasting and strong, Elle Limited Edition 2011 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixAnimalic and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointBlonde first, then Elle Limited Edition 2011 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
