Why this pairing makes sense

Neroli and orange blossom connect the floral side, with jasmine, iris and honeysuckle adding detail. Caramel, sugar, vanilla and musk give you a sweeter side to compare. If that sweet floral idea is what interests you, check how much room each part has rather than focus only on sugar.
