Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenValentino Eau de Parfum brings floral; Qi brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, citrus and white floral run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Valentino Eau de Parfum is moderate on both, Qi moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
