Why it might work

Light over deepHoly Neroli brings citrus; Misfit brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list bulgarian rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadMusky and powdery run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Holy Neroli in summer and spring and Misfit in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Holy Neroli is long lasting and moderate, Misfit moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
