Why it might work
  • Light over deepLemon Tart brings citrus; Palissandre Night brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadPowdery and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Lemon Tart in summer and Palissandre Night in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lemon Tart is moderate and enormous, Palissandre Night long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
