Why it might work

Flowers over greenSamba Natural brings floral; Zipped Man brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadCitrus, floral, powdery and musky run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba Natural is moderate on both, Zipped Man moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
