Woodsy NotesWhy it might work
- Flowers over green5th Avenue brings floral; Orient Oud brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put 5th Avenue in spring and Orient Oud in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 5th Avenue is moderate on both, Orient Oud moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOrient Oud first, then 5th Avenue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
