Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenWild Elixir brings floral; Bois des Iles brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and amber and 3 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet, powdery, fresh and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Wild Elixir in spring and summer and Bois des Iles in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Wild Elixir is moderate and enormous, Bois des Iles moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
