Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenTropical Splash Hibiscus brings floral; Aqua Celestia brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, fruity, sweet and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tropical Splash Hibiscus is weak and intimate, Aqua Celestia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
