Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list woody notes, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Exquisite in fall and winter and Crazy Basil in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Exquisite is very weak and moderate, Crazy Basil 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 pointExquisite first, then Crazy Basil over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
