Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenAlien Mirage brings floral; Ilanguara brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Alien Mirage in summer and spring and Ilanguara in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Alien Mirage is moderate on both, Ilanguara moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
