Why it might work

Flowers over greenSuede brings floral; Midnight Shimmer brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadFloral, woody and musky run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Suede is moderate and strong, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
