Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenL Interdit 2003 brings floral; Monsieur brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber, cedar, patchouli and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L Interdit 2003 in spring and Monsieur in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L Interdit 2003 is moderate on both, Monsieur long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
