Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenMalmaison brings floral; Durban Jane brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, floral and woody run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Malmaison is moderate on both, Durban Jane moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
