- Flowers over greenModern Muse brings floral; Major Tom brings earthy and woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Modern Muse in spring and Major Tom in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Modern Muse is moderate on both, Major Tom moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMajor Tom first, then Modern Muse over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
