- Flowers over greenAmbroisé brings floral; Volubilis – Pure Essence brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, vanilla, amber and iris, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and iris run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Volubilis – Pure Essence in winter and Ambroisé in fall and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
What to watch
- One will leadAmbroisé is voted long lasting and enormous; Volubilis – Pure Essence weak and intimate. Expect Ambroisé to lead and Volubilis – Pure Essence to fade first.
A starting pointOne spray of Ambroisé, two of Volubilis – Pure Essence over it.Weighted toward the one that fades first. Adjust to taste.
