Lily-of-the-ValleyWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceBois des Iles brings amber; Gentleman Eau de Parfum brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, tonka bean and benzoin, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, vanilla, amber and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gentleman Eau de Parfum is long lasting and moderate, Bois des Iles moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGentleman Eau de Parfum first, then Bois des Iles over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
