MuskWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spicePure Crystal brings amber; Candide Effluve brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, bergamot, vetiver and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, vanilla, powdery and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Candide Effluve is very weak and enormous, Pure Crystal long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOne spray of each, on different spots.Neither is clearly deeper or stronger, so start even. Adjust to taste.
