Vanilla, aromatic and caramel meets amber, citrus and woody. They share four accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Vanille Marine, blue is Terra Nova. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Light over deepVanille Marine brings aromatic; Terra Nova brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, amber, powdery and balsamic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Vanille Marine in fall and winter and Terra Nova in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanille Marine is long lasting and moderate, Terra Nova moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixVanilla and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointVanille Marine first, then Terra Nova over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
