Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenCuir Soyeux brings floral; Montabaco Cuba brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list magnolia and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, vanilla, woody and amber run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuir Soyeux is long lasting and enormous, Montabaco Cuba long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointCuir Soyeux first, then Montabaco Cuba over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
