Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenVelvet Desire brings floral; Sexy Sunset brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list gardenia and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWhite floral and floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Velvet Desire in spring and fall and Sexy Sunset in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velvet Desire is moderate on both, Sexy Sunset moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
