Why it might work
  • Sweet meets spiceAl Fares brings amber; Babylon brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
  • Notes in commonBoth list vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Babylon in winter and fall and Al Fares in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Babylon is long lasting and moderate, Al Fares moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointAl Fares first, then Babylon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
