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. Creed

    Himalaya

    88/100

    Ormonde Man's vetiver gives Himalaya's lemon something to rest on, and both carry sandalwood.

    Spray Ormonde Man first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Himalaya on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  2. Creed

    Viking Cologne's bergamot lifts the vetiver in Ormonde Man, tied by shared cedarwood.

    Spray Ormonde Man first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Viking Cologne on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).

  3. Chanel

    Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette puts bright grapefruit over the vetiver in Ormonde Man, tied by shared sandalwood.

    Spray Ormonde Man first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then Bleu de Chanel Eau de Toilette on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
