Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenAl Taif brings floral; Al Maqam brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list floral notes, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, amber and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Al Taif in winter and fall and Al Maqam in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
What to watch
  • Two loud onesBoth are voted strong projectors (Al Taif: long lasting and strong; Al Maqam: eternal and enormous). Go light on both.
A starting pointAl Maqam first, then Al Taif over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
