Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenEquinox Bloom brings floral; Bois Blond brings green and woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWhite floral and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Equinox Bloom in spring and Bois Blond in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Equinox Bloom is long lasting and moderate, Bois Blond long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
