Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenLes Fleurs Rose brings floral; Oud de Nil brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, rose, citrus and floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Oud de Nil in fall and Les Fleurs Rose in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oud de Nil is moderate on both, Les Fleurs Rose moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud de Nil first, then Les Fleurs Rose over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
