Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list ylang-ylang and incense, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet, woody, fruity and yellow floral run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L Interdit 2 is moderate and strong, Ilanguara moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
