Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list citruses, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAromatic and fresh run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Reckless in spring and fall and Selection Verte in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Reckless is long lasting and moderate, Selection Verte moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
