We have a winner!

in Aldehyde, Amber, Bergamot et al, Carven, Galbanum, Guerlain, Hyacinth, Orris, Perfumes, Vetiver

Helg guessed that the two fragrances I was wearing were Chamade and Ma Griffe.

A little something will be winging its way to her for the correct guess!

Here are the notes for the two. I've highlighted the notes they share. It certainly surprised me, but on two different occasions they came down to being nearly identical on me, though they start out differently.

Chamade
Top Notes: Greens, galbanum, bergamot, hyacinth, aldehydes
Heart Notes: Rose, jasmine, lilac, clove
Base Notes: Vanilla, amber, benzoin, sandalwood, vetiver

Ma Griffe
Top Notes: Gardenia, greens, galbanum, aldehydes, clary sage
Heart Notes: Jasmine, rose, sandalwood, vetiver, orris, ylang-ylang
Base Notes: Styrax, oakmoss, cinnamon, musk, benzoin, labdanum

I’m wearing Chamade today, and I love it as always. Funny how I didn’t like it when it first came out.
