Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenPapuas brings floral; Meander brings woody and earthy. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy runs through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Papuas is moderate on both, Meander long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
