PapyrusWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenI Love Marc brings floral; Amber Absolute Oil brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, vanilla, ginger and bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadMusky, amber, powdery and rose run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put I Love Marc in winter and Amber Absolute Oil in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
What to watch
- One will leadAmber Absolute Oil is voted long lasting and enormous; I Love Marc weak and strong. Expect Amber Absolute Oil to lead and I Love Marc to fade first.
