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.
Chanel
Bleu de Chanel
73/100Grapefruit runs through both, and L.12.12 Blanc brings the musk.
Spray Bleu de Chanel first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then L.12.12 Blanc on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
Amouage
Reflection Man
72/100Shared ylang-ylang ties them together, and Reflection Man brings neroli, which L.12.12 Blanc lacks.
Spray Reflection Man first (2 sprays, chest and neck), let it settle a minute, then L.12.12 Blanc on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
Byredo
Super Cedar
71/100Super Cedar sits close to the skin and helps L.12.12 Blanc's grapefruit last longer, with woods in both.
Spray Super Cedar first (3 sprays, neck, chest and wrists), let it settle a minute, then L.12.12 Blanc on top (3 sprays, neck, wrists and a mist on your shirt).
