Why it might work
  • Light over deepEau de Verveine brings citrus and green; Abu Dhabi brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Eau de Verveine in summer and Abu Dhabi in fall and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eau de Verveine is eternal and enormous, Abu Dhabi long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
