Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenAllende brings floral; Alexandria II Extrait Oil brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadVanilla, warm spicy and powdery run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Allende is long lasting and moderate, Alexandria II Extrait Oil eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
