Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenAl Shomoukh brings floral; VII brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list agarwood (oud), so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadOud, woody and powdery run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Al Shomoukh is eternal and enormous, VII long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointVII first, then Al Shomoukh over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
