Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenPapuas brings floral; Remain brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list ambergris, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Papuas is moderate on both, Remain long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
