Why it might work
  • Light over deepCologne brings citrus and green; Dubai Diamond Ruby brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, green and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Dubai Diamond Ruby in fall and winter and Cologne in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dubai Diamond Ruby is very weak and intimate, Cologne moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
What to watch
  • An unusual mixAmber and green are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointDubai Diamond Ruby first, then Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
