MuskWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenGold Rose Edition brings floral; No. 1 Imperial for women brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral, sweet and fruity run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Gold Rose Edition in fall and No. 1 Imperial for women in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gold Rose Edition is long lasting and strong, No. 1 Imperial for women long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNo. 1 Imperial for women first, then Gold Rose Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
