Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenHamptons brings floral; Insense Ultramarine brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, magnolia, sage and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAromatic, floral, woody and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Insense Ultramarine is moderate on both, Hamptons moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
