Why it might work

  • A shared threadWoody, powdery and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Dulce de Leche in fall and winter and Bitter Splash in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dulce de Leche is moderate on both, Bitter Splash long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
