Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenMy Sin brings floral; Pretexte brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, sweet, musky and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put My Sin in spring and summer and Pretexte in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: My Sin is very weak and strong, Pretexte moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointPretexte first, then My Sin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
