Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenEsprit d brings floral; Empiryan brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber and labdanum, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, warm spicy, sweet and woody run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Esprit d is eternal and enormous, Empiryan long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointEmpiryan first, then Esprit d over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
