Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenDragonfly brings floral; Musk Deer brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, powdery, woody and iris run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Dragonfly in spring and Musk Deer in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dragonfly is moderate on both, Musk Deer long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
