Why it might work
  • Light over deepSuede Orris brings citrus; Mena brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber, aromatic and powdery run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mena is moderate on both, Suede Orris weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
