Why it might work

Flowers over greenCashmere Veil brings floral; Tarab brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and rose run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tarab is long lasting and strong, Cashmere Veil weak and enormous, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointTarab first, then Cashmere Veil over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
