Why it might work

  • A shared threadGreen, floral and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Bas de Soie in spring and L'Eau à la Folie in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bas de Soie is moderate on both, L'Eau à la Folie moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
