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. Le Labo

    Fleur Narcotique's peony lasts longer over the quiet ambroxyde of Another 13, with green notes in both.

    Spray Another 13 first (3 sprays, neck, chest and wrists), let it settle a minute, then Fleur Narcotique on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  2. Byredo

    Along with bergamot, Fleur Narcotique's peony lasts longer over the quiet musk of Super Cedar.

    Spray Super Cedar first (3 sprays, neck, chest and wrists), let it settle a minute, then Fleur Narcotique on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).

  3. Diptyque

    Along with bergamot, Fleur Narcotique's peony lasts longer over the quiet ambrette of Fleur de Peau.
