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.
Creed
Viking Cologne
82/100The sweet benzoin in Coromandel smooths the sharp lavender of Viking Cologne, with patchouli in both.
Spray Coromandel first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Viking Cologne on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
Lalique
Encre Noire à l'Extrême
82/100Encre Noire à l'Extrême's dry sandalwood turns warmer next to Coromandel's amber, tied by shared benzoin.
Spray Coromandel first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Encre Noire à l'Extrême on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
Parfums de Marly
Percival
82/100Along with benzoin, Coromandel's patchouli gives Percival's bergamot something to rest on.
Spray Coromandel first (2 sprays, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Percival on top (4 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
