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