CedarwoodWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceRussian Oud II brings amber; Pride brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAmber, warm spicy, powdery and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pride is long lasting and strong, Russian Oud II long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRussian Oud II first, then Pride over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
