Why it might work

  • A shared threadFruity, woody, aromatic and green run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Rouge Chaotique in winter and fall and Osmanthus Elixir in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rouge Chaotique is long lasting and strong, Osmanthus Elixir moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
