Why it might work
  • Light over deepCacti brings citrus and green; Kasbah brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadCitrus, woody, powdery and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Cacti in summer and spring and Kasbah in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
