Try them together

Three pairings

The three highest pair scores among our checked bottles. Each score has a reason. Smell is personal; these rules are a starting point.

  1. Dossier

    9am Dive's lemon lifts the patchouli in Woody Ginger, which also brings amber.

    Spray Woody Ginger first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then 9am Dive on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  2. Hugo Boss

    Boss Bottled Intense's woods give 9am Dive's lemon something to rest on, and both carry apple.

    Spray Boss Bottled Intense first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then 9am Dive on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Givenchy

    9am Dive puts bright lemon over the cedarwood in Gentlemen Only, with patchouli in both.

    Spray Gentlemen Only first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then 9am Dive on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
