Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenScarlet Peony brings floral; Elle brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody runs through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Scarlet Peony is very weak and moderate, Elle long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
