Why it might work

Flowers over greenSpring Poppies brings floral; L'Insomnuit brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadSweet and powdery run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Spring Poppies in spring and L'Insomnuit in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
