Why it might work
  • Light over deepCedre Blanc brings aromatic; Royal Vanilla brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadPowdery, woody and musky run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Royal Vanilla in winter and fall and Cedre Blanc in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Vanilla is long lasting and strong, Cedre Blanc eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
