AmbergrisWhy it might work
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadFloral, powdery and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Dolce Rosa Excelsa in spring and Ambre de Noir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dolce Rosa Excelsa is moderate on both, Ambre de Noir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmbre de Noir first, then Dolce Rosa Excelsa over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
