VanillaWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceCrystal Incense brings amber; Bois d'Amande brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Crystal Incense is long lasting and moderate, Bois d'Amande moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois d'Amande first, then Crystal Incense over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
