Why it might work
  • Light over deepNotorious brings citrus; Zeus brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadVanilla, citrus, powdery and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Notorious in fall and winter and Zeus in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Notorious is long lasting and strong, Zeus long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
