Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenSexy Sunset brings floral; Midnight Shimmer brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list freesia and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, fruity, woody and vanilla run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Sexy Sunset in summer and Midnight Shimmer in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sexy Sunset is moderate and intimate, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
