Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list musk and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and smoky run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Gold Leaf in spring and summer and Monsieur in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gold Leaf is long lasting and moderate, Monsieur long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
