Why it might work

Flowers over greenWinter Orchid brings floral; Amberful brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadFloral and powdery run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Winter Orchid in winter and Amberful in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
