Why it might work

Opposite seasonsVoters put Gold Man in winter and summer and Knight in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gold Man is moderate on both, Knight moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
