Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenLife brings floral; Al Maqam brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, woody, powdery and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Life is eternal and moderate, Al Maqam eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
