Why it might work

  • A shared threadCitrus, woody and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Totem Orange in summer and Tamima in spring and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Totem Orange is moderate on both, Tamima long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
