Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenSamba Star brings floral; Rain Forest brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadGreen, powdery, fresh and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Samba Star in fall and Rain Forest in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba Star is moderate on both, Rain Forest long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
