Why it might work

  • A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Izayoi in spring and Bois d'Ascese in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Izayoi is moderate on both, Bois d'Ascese long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
