How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Reception, blue is Feerie Rubis. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenFeerie Rubis brings floral; Reception brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list pink pepper, lemon and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, soft spicy and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Reception in fall and winter and Feerie Rubis in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Reception is long lasting and strong, Feerie Rubis moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointReception first, then Feerie Rubis over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
