Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenKintsugi brings floral; Alcove brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list rose, siam benzoin and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus and fruity run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Alcove is long lasting and strong, Kintsugi long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
