IrisWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceParfum des Merveilles brings amber; Sun di Gioia brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAmber runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Parfum des Merveilles in fall and Sun di Gioia in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Parfum des Merveilles is long lasting and moderate, Sun di Gioia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointParfum des Merveilles first, then Sun di Gioia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
