Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, orange blossom, jasmine and rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery, white floral and citrus run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Semi-Bespoke No. 5 is eternal and enormous, I Am The Queen long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
