Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenShanghai Lily brings floral; Terra Rossa brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list labdanum, rose and bitter orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, amber, woody and balsamic run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Shanghai Lily is long lasting and moderate, Terra Rossa moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
