Why it might work
  • Light over deepAali Almaqam brings aromatic; Gilio (2019) brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, patchouli, musky and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Gilio (2019) in fall and winter and Aali Almaqam in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gilio (2019) is very weak and enormous, Aali Almaqam long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
