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.

    Boss Bottled Elixir's cedarwood gives Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette's grapefruit something to rest on, and both carry vetiver.

  2. Le Labo

    Vetiver 46's guaiac wood gives Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette's grapefruit something to rest on, tied by shared cedar.

    Spray Vetiver 46 first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Acqua di Parma

    Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette's vetiver grounds the green fig nectar of Fico di Amalfi, tied by shared grapefruit.
