Why it might work
  • Light over deepSahara Blue brings citrus and aromatic; Cannabis Blue brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Cannabis Blue in spring and fall and Sahara Blue in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cannabis Blue is long lasting and moderate, Sahara Blue moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
