Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, powdery and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put The Time in summer and spring and Golden Powder in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Time is moderate on both, Golden Powder moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
