Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenSucculent Flower brings floral; Idle Hour brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Succulent Flower is moderate on both, Idle Hour weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
