Why it might work
  • Light over deepNo. 5 Vetyver brings aromatic; Red Square brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put No. 5 Vetyver in fall and Red Square in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No. 5 Vetyver is moderate on both, Red Square moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
