Cashmere WoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepBon Monsieur brings aromatic; Memoire Intense brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, patchouli and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, floral and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bon Monsieur is long lasting and moderate, Memoire Intense moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMemoire Intense first, then Bon Monsieur over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
