Short answer: Liquides Imaginaires Fortis layers best with partners that share its vetiver, patchouli and amber and add one new direction. The strongest SCNTMIX picks are Xerjoff Accento, Versace Eros Flame and Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint. Skip very sweet candy gourmands and loud aquatics that fight the dry woods.
Liquides Imaginaires Fortis layers best when one fragrance leads and the other has a clear supporting job: brightness, softness, texture, or depth. Start on clean, moisturized skin and let the first layer settle for 20–30 seconds before the second.
