Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, jasmine and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAmber, woody, powdery and aromatic run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Carnation is eternal and strong, Kashmir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointKashmir first, then Carnation over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
