Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenMagnolia City brings floral; Lilac City brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral and green run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lilac City is moderate on both, Magnolia City moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
