Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenMelange brings floral; Nanshe brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list cardamom, musk and floral notes, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, musky, rose and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Melange in winter and Nanshe in fall and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Melange is eternal and strong, Nanshe 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 pointMelange first, then Nanshe over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
