Spicy NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deep001 Royal Velvet brings citrus; Saks New York Oud brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, musky, powdery and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Saks New York Oud in winter and fall and 001 Royal Velvet in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Saks New York Oud is very weak and strong, 001 Royal Velvet moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point001 Royal Velvet first, then Saks New York Oud over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
