Why it might work
  • Light over deepZinnia brings green; Malmaison brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list carnation, rose, musk and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, warm spicy, rose and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Zinnia in spring and Malmaison in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Zinnia is long lasting and moderate, Malmaison moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
