Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenStars Edition 2015 brings floral; Frangipane brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral runs through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Stars Edition 2015 is moderate on both, Frangipane long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
