Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenD G Feminine brings floral; Governors Island brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadPowdery, musky and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put D G Feminine in spring and Governors Island in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: D G Feminine is moderate on both, Governors Island moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
