Lily-of-the-ValleyWhy it might work
- Light over deepLauder for Men brings aromatic and green; Modern Muse Parfum brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, cedar and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, white floral, floral and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Modern Muse Parfum is very weak and moderate, Lauder for Men long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointModern Muse Parfum first, then Lauder for Men over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
