Why it might work
  • Light over deepErdenstern brings aromatic; Scheherazade brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadAromatic, woody and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Erdenstern in fall and Scheherazade in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Erdenstern is moderate on both, Scheherazade long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
