Why it might work
  • Light over deepContralto brings aromatic; Notturno brings woody and smoky. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber, aromatic and balsamic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Notturno in fall and winter and Contralto in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Notturno is eternal and moderate, Contralto long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
