Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list peony, musk and lemon, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFresh, floral, citrus and fruity run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cio Cio San is long lasting and moderate, Miss Arpels moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
