- Flowers over greenHot Petals brings floral; Lilac Eau de Toilette brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadGreen, floral and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hot Petals is weak and moderate, Lilac Eau de Toilette weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLilac Eau de Toilette first, then Hot Petals over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
