Why it might work

Flowers over greenChina White brings floral; Melodia brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadPowdery, floral, musky and woody run through both.

Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: China White is long lasting and moderate, Melodia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
