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

- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.

- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Violet is long lasting and moderate, French Lover moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFrench Lover first, then Rose Violet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
