Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, sandalwood, patchouli and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAromatic, warm spicy, woody and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetiver is long lasting and moderate, Islay eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
