Why it might work

Flowers over greenHana Tsubaki brings floral; 1876 brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadFloral and powdery run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Hana Tsubaki in spring and 1876 in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hana Tsubaki is very weak and strong, 1876 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

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