Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRalph Lauren Blue brings floral; Pretexte brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list rose, vetiver, oakmoss and sandalwood and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Ralph Lauren Blue in summer and spring and Pretexte in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ralph Lauren Blue is moderate on both, Pretexte moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
