Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenIsland brings floral; MCX brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Island in summer and MCX in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Island is moderate on both, MCX very weak and strong, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointMCX first, then Island over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
