MuskWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenMilk Orchid brings floral; New York 5th Avenue brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, sweet, woody and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Milk Orchid is moderate on both, New York 5th Avenue long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNew York 5th Avenue first, then Milk Orchid over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
