Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list amber, violet and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, woody, warm spicy and powdery run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Dark Side is long lasting and strong, Asana long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
