How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Floriental, blue is Boss Woman. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBoss Woman brings floral; Floriental brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, fruity and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Floriental in fall and winter and Boss Woman in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Floriental is moderate on both, Boss Woman 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 pointFloriental first, then Boss Woman over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
