Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list iris, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadViolet, powdery, floral and woody run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Feerie in spring and L’Hiver in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Feerie is moderate on both, L’Hiver very weak and strong, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointL’Hiver first, then Feerie over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
