Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenVery brings floral; Belle Du Soir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, powdery, white floral and musky run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Belle Du Soir in fall and winter and Very in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Belle Du Soir is moderate on both, Very moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
