Why it might work
  • Light over deepWilde brings citrus; Islay brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, citrus, aromatic and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Wilde in spring and summer and Islay in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Wilde is long lasting and moderate, Islay eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
