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
88/100Noir's vanilla turns Viking Cologne's lavender warm and soft, with nutmeg in both.
Spray Noir 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).
Parfums de Marly
Layton Exclusif
88/100Noir's vanilla turns Layton Exclusif's lavender warm and soft, and both carry cardamom.
Spray Layton Exclusif first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Noir on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
Initio
Paragon
87/100Paragon's lavender and the vanilla in Noir are an old barbershop classic, tied by shared black pepper.
Spray Paragon first (1 spray, chest, under your shirt), let it settle a minute, then Noir on top (2 sprays, neck and wrists).
