Why it might work
  • Light over deepBrooklyn brings citrus; Vega brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, floral, powdery and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Vega in fall and winter and Brooklyn in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vega is moderate on both, Brooklyn moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
