Why it might work
  • Light over deepL’Ile au Thé brings citrus and green; New York brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadCitrus and musky run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: New York is weak and intimate, L’Ile au Thé moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
