Why it might work
  • Light over deepHortense brings aromatic; Florence brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, rose, vanilla and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, rose, vanilla and citrus run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Florence is long lasting and strong, Hortense moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
