AmberwoodWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenNotorious brings floral; Tobacco Sublime brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, sweet, woody and patchouli run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Notorious is moderate on both, Tobacco Sublime moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTobacco Sublime first, then Notorious over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
