Why it might work
  • Light over deepChampion brings citrus; Shem brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list cardamom, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, warm spicy and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Champion in summer and spring and Shem in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Champion is long lasting and strong, Shem eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
