Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenCherry Blossom brings floral; Islay brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, musky and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Cherry Blossom in spring and summer and Islay in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
What to watch
