Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list patchouli and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, citrus and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Royal Amber in fall and winter and Africa in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Amber is moderate on both, Africa long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
