Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenWarda Al Oud brings floral; Alexandria II brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list agarwood (oud), amber, vanilla and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, powdery, oud and vanilla run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Alexandria II is eternal and strong, Warda Al Oud eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
