Why it might work

Light over deepCapri brings citrus and aromatic; 1681 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put 1681 in fall and spring and Capri in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1681 is moderate on both, Capri moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
