French labdanumWhy it might work
- Light over deepPolo Modern Reserve brings aromatic; Tuxedo brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list vetiver and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, warm spicy and green run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Polo Modern Reserve is long lasting and moderate, Tuxedo eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTuxedo first, then Polo Modern Reserve over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
