Why it might work
  • Light over deepPromesse brings citrus; Calvin brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, mandarin orange, musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, woody, fresh spicy and white floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Calvin in fall and winter and Promesse in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Calvin is long lasting and strong, Promesse 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 pointPromesse first, then Calvin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
