Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenVaara brings floral; Elle Perfume Extract brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list benzoin, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery and warm spicy run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vaara is moderate on both, Elle Perfume Extract very weak and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
