Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceAmber Wood brings amber; Café Chantant Exceptional Edition brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Café Chantant Exceptional Edition is moderate on both, Amber Wood long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCafé Chantant Exceptional Edition first, then Amber Wood over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
