Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBlackberry Bite brings floral; Idle Hour brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadAmber and sweet run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Blackberry Bite is weak and moderate, Idle Hour weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
