- Flowers over greenVery Sexy Summer brings floral; Scent of a Dream brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, woody and warm spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Very Sexy Summer in summer and spring and Scent of a Dream in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Very Sexy Summer is moderate on both, Scent of a Dream moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointScent of a Dream first, then Very Sexy Summer over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
