Why it might work
  • Light over deepColette 19 brings citrus and aromatic; Chandigarh Express brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy, aromatic and green run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Colette 19 in spring and summer and Chandigarh Express in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Colette 19 is very weak and enormous, Chandigarh Express long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
