- Flowers over greenVictoria's Secret Simply Gorgeous brings floral; Hypnotic Vanilla Bloom brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, amber, sweet and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Victoria's Secret Simply Gorgeous is moderate on both, Hypnotic Vanilla Bloom moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHypnotic Vanilla Bloom first, then Victoria's Secret Simply Gorgeous over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
