Why it might work
  • Light over deepMonsieur brings aromatic; Via brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, carnation, jasmine and sandalwood and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, green, powdery and aromatic run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Via is moderate on both, Monsieur moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
