Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenVénus brings floral; A Lilac a Day brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, white floral and green run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Vénus in fall and winter and A Lilac a Day in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vénus is moderate on both, A Lilac a Day moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointVénus first, then A Lilac a Day over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
