Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRose Royale brings floral; Mortel brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Rose Royale in spring and Mortel in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Royale is long lasting and moderate, Mortel moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
