Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBoston Ivy brings floral; Nahema brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadGreen, floral, fresh and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Boston Ivy in spring and Nahema in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Boston Ivy is long lasting and moderate, Nahema long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
