Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Light over deepIllicit Flower brings citrus; La La Love brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Illicit Flower in spring and La La Love in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Illicit Flower is moderate on both, La La Love moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLa La Love first, then Illicit Flower over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
