VanillaWhy it might work
- Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang, sandalwood and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, woody, yellow floral and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sortilège is long lasting and moderate, Amber Ylang Ylang Parfum long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Ylang Ylang Parfum first, then Sortilège over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
