Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenQueens brings floral; Islay brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk, sandalwood and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, musky, powdery and woody run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Queens is long lasting and strong, Islay eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
