Tobacco BlossomWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceDoux Ennui brings amber; Golden Powder brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list vanilla and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadVanilla, sweet, powdery and musky run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Doux Ennui is moderate on both, Golden Powder moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDoux Ennui first, then Golden Powder over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
