Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, sandalwood and amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, powdery, citrus and aromatic run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Very is moderate on both, I Don t Know What long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
