Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenFeerie Rubis brings floral; Samba Nova brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list iris, musk, cedar and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFruity, sweet, powdery and musky run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Feerie Rubis is moderate on both, Samba Nova moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
