Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenPure White Linen Limited Edition brings floral; Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody, rose, sweet and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Pure White Linen Limited Edition in summer and spring and Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pure White Linen Limited Edition is moderate on both, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
