Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenXi'an brings floral; Wild Vanilla Orchid brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bamboo and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, floral and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Xi'an in spring and summer and Wild Vanilla Orchid in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Xi'an is moderate on both, Wild Vanilla Orchid moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
