How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Flower Sorbet, blue is Idle Hour. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenFlower Sorbet brings floral; Idle Hour brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadSoft spicy and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Flower Sorbet in spring and Idle Hour in summer and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Flower Sorbet is weak and moderate, Idle Hour weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
