VanillaWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenSensuous Parfum brings floral; Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, amber and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, yellow floral and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sensuous Parfum is long lasting and strong, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Ylang Ylang Parfum first, then Sensuous Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
