Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBouquet de Paris brings floral; Velvet Pure brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadAromatic, woody and balsamic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Velvet Pure in spring and summer and Bouquet de Paris in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velvet Pure is moderate on both, Bouquet de Paris long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
