Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenLa Belle Helene brings floral; Elle brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list iris, musk, amber and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet, woody, powdery and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: La Belle Helene is moderate on both, Elle long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
