OakmossWhy it might work
- Light over deepJour d'Hermes Parfum brings citrus and green; Bel Ami brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list lemon, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, floral and animalic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Jour d'Hermes Parfum in spring and summer and Bel Ami in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Jour d'Hermes Parfum is eternal and enormous, Bel Ami long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBel Ami first, then Jour d'Hermes Parfum over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
