Why it might work

Light over deepAwake brings aromatic; Woody Gold brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadAromatic, citrus and woody run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Awake in fall and winter and Woody Gold in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Awake is moderate on both, Woody Gold moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
