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. Versace

    Eros

    88/100

    The sweet vanilla in Eros smooths the sharp lavender of Bleu de Chanel Parfum, and both carry geranium.

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

  2. Armaf

    The sweet tonka bean in Club de Nuit Intense Overdose smooths the sharp lavender of Bleu de Chanel Parfum, and both carry amber.

    Spray Club de Nuit Intense Overdose first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Bleu de Chanel Parfum on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Creed

    Erolfa

    86/100

    Bleu de Chanel Parfum's sandalwood gives Erolfa's lemon something to rest on, and both carry lavender.
