OlibanumWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceRose Imperiale brings amber; Lost in the Desert brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, warm spicy and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Imperiale is moderate on both, Lost in the Desert long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose Imperiale first, then Lost in the Desert over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
