Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenFleur de Patchouli brings floral; Poise brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody and rose run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Fleur de Patchouli in fall and spring and Poise in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fleur de Patchouli is moderate on both, Poise moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
