Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery runs through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Fresh Ritual in spring and summer and Bois Noir in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fresh Ritual is very weak and moderate, Bois Noir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
