Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenOrson brings floral; Vert Velours brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, woody and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Orson in fall and Vert Velours in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Orson is moderate on both, Vert Velours long lasting and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
