- Flowers over greenL eau d Issey brings floral; LOULOU Noir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L eau d Issey is moderate on both, LOULOU Noir weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLOULOU Noir first, then L eau d Issey over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
