Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenToy 2 brings floral; Elixir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Toy 2 in summer and spring and Elixir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Toy 2 is moderate on both, Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
