Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRainbow brings floral; Cuir Amethyste brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, powdery and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Rainbow in spring and Cuir Amethyste in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rainbow is eternal and enormous, Cuir Amethyste long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointCuir Amethyste first, then Rainbow over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
