Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list rose and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and rose run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Fantastic Oud in fall and winter and Safa in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fantastic Oud is long lasting and strong, Safa long lasting and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
