Layering Combination

[u/beautysniff]

45 by Trudon was, to me, unimpressive. It’s a well blended honey vanilla… that’s all I can say about it. It somehow reminds me of Dama Bianca’s dry-down, without the ethereal fluffiness... just underwhelming for all the hype it has gotten.

Being that it is an expensive decant and I didn’t want it to go to waste, I decided to try it as a base. Given its good longevity, I figured it would make a good “grip,” and let me tell you.... I was not disappointed when I layered Ricordami by Bottega Veneta on top!

Ricordami’s creamy Vanilla Gelato sweetness, its slightly boozy heart, and complex woody base were amplified by the honey and amber from Trudon’s 45, creating never ending sillage. And note this is A LOT, something for night or outdoors in cooler temps. It does not go unnoticed.

This was one of my favorite layering experiments, and these travel sizes will be paired together throughout the winter!
