Why it might work
  • Light over deepTolu brings aromatic; Andromeda brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber and tonka bean, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet, white floral, amber and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Andromeda in spring and Tolu in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Andromeda is long lasting and strong, Tolu moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointAndromeda first, then Tolu over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
