Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRose & Magnolia brings floral; S. Margherita Ligure brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadRose, floral, woody and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Rose & Magnolia in spring and S. Margherita Ligure in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose & Magnolia is moderate on both, S. Margherita Ligure moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
