CedarWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenMon Guerlain L'Essence brings floral; Le Parfum L'Edition Or brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadCitrus and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Mon Guerlain L'Essence in spring and Le Parfum L'Edition Or in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mon Guerlain L'Essence is moderate on both, Le Parfum L'Edition Or long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLe Parfum L'Edition Or first, then Mon Guerlain L'Essence over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
