Why it might work

Flowers over greenTurquoise brings floral; Ormonde Elixir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic and green run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Turquoise in summer and Ormonde Elixir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
