Why it might work
  • Light over deepAvant Garde brings citrus; Tuscan Soul brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Avant Garde in fall and Tuscan Soul in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Avant Garde is very weak and moderate, Tuscan Soul moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointAvant Garde first, then Tuscan Soul over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
