Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenOudh Osmanthus brings floral; Vanille brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list petitgrain and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic, citrus and balsamic run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanille is long lasting and moderate, Oudh Osmanthus long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
