AmberWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenDemi-Jour brings floral; Esprit De Noel brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Demi-Jour in fall and spring and Esprit De Noel in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Demi-Jour is long lasting and strong, Esprit De Noel moderate and enormous, 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.
