Virginia CedarWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenTabac Blond brings floral; Mirage Gourmand brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mirage Gourmand is long lasting and moderate, Tabac Blond moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTabac Blond first, then Mirage Gourmand over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
