How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Dolce Garden, blue is 160. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Flowers over greenDolce Garden brings floral; 160 brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadFloral and sweet run through both.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
