Why it might work

  • A shared threadAromatic runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Royal Water in summer and spring and Capua in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Water is moderate on both, Capua long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
