Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRose Royale brings floral; Bois des Iles brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, rose, coriander and musk and 1 more, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Rose Royale in spring and Bois des Iles in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Royale is long lasting and moderate, Bois des Iles moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
