Ambrette (Musk Mallow)Why it might work
- Light over deepExtreme 8.0 brings aromatic and green; Elle brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, musky and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Extreme 8.0 in summer and spring and Elle in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Extreme 8.0 is moderate on both, Elle moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointElle first, then Extreme 8.0 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
