Why it might work

Light over deepFunctional Fragrance brings aromatic; KLĒA brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, green, citrus and powdery run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Functional Fragrance in spring and fall and KLĒA in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Functional Fragrance is moderate on both, KLĒA moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
