Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, gardenia, jasmine and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWhite floral, woody and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Suede is moderate and strong, Oud Romancea long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
