CedarWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenLa Belle Saison brings floral; Esprit De Noel brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, citrus, amber and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put La Belle Saison in spring and Esprit De Noel in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: La Belle Saison is moderate on both, Esprit De Noel moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLa Belle Saison first, then Esprit De Noel over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
