Why it might work
  • Light over deepNo 89 brings citrus and aromatic; Malmaison brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list rose, ylang-ylang, musk and virginia cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, rose and floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put No 89 in spring and summer and Malmaison in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No 89 is moderate on both, Malmaison moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
