AmberWhy it might work
- Light over deepMyths Man brings aromatic; Elle Perfume Extract brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, leather, earthy and amber run through both.
What to watch
- An unusual mixSmoky and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
- One will leadMyths Man is voted eternal and strong; Elle Perfume Extract very weak and enormous. Expect Myths Man to lead and Elle Perfume Extract to fade first.
