Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenTome 2 La Légèreté brings floral; V Absolu brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, powdery, fruity and sweet run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tome 2 La Légèreté is moderate and intimate, V Absolu long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
