Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenGarden Lilies brings floral; 1988 brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list green notes, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadGreen, powdery and woody run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Garden Lilies is moderate and intimate, 1988 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
