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