Why 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.
