- Flowers over greenModern Muse Parfum brings floral; Cuir Amethyste brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, patchouli, amber 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, Cuir Amethyste long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCuir Amethyste first, then Modern Muse Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
