Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenOud Couture brings floral; New York Musk brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral and powdery run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud Couture is long lasting and strong, New York Musk long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointNew York Musk first, then Oud Couture over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
