Why it might work

Flowers over greenFirst Love brings floral; Ryder brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAmber and vanilla run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ryder is eternal and moderate, First Love moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

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

A starting pointRyder first, then First Love over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
