Why it might work
  • Light over deepFormosa brings citrus; Pink Wood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Pink Wood in winter and fall and Formosa in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pink Wood is long lasting and moderate, Formosa 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 pointPink Wood first, then Formosa over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
