Once in a while one can come up with a lovely new way of wearing two fragrances, both of which might be favorites, or conversely, one might be more favored than the other.
Such is the serendipitous layering of Le Jardin Retrouvé's Le Chèvrefeuille - Honeysuckle with Le Jardin Retrouvé's Tubereuse.
I couldn't imagine layering Tubereuse, because it is such a big, bold fragrance on its own, but Marlen at Perfume Critic said it was delicious when layered with Le Jardin Retrouvé's Le Chèvrefeuille - Honeysuckle.
What did I have to lose! I needed to try this.
Method of application:
First I put some Le Chèvrefeuille - Honeysuckle on the back of my hand, then I put an equal amount of Tubereuse on top of it.
At first there was more Tubereuse, as you would expect, but very shortly in, the honeysuckle is coming to the front.
Second, on the other hand, I reversed the order, using the Honeysuckle on top. This gives a greener sense of the combined scent.
This is a wonderful mix!
My take:
I highly recommend these two together. This is a case where the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Who can wear this combination?
I think it would be as wonderful on a man, as on a woman.
If you happen to have these two fragrances on hand from other companies, you might find it works even then. But one of the best things about Le Jardin Retrouvé's fragrances is that they are immediately wearable. You don't have to wait for any alcohol to burn off. They are more like perfumes than edp. So I suspect while it might be a good combination with someone else's fragrances, it is a superb combination with Le Jardin Retrouvé.
Thanks to Perfume Critic for this idea, as presented at LJR.
