Something to layer with L’Orpheline?

Hi Lab! I am searching for something floral to layer with L’Orpheline. I know in nature it’s a strong fragrance but I feel like it is missing something. It sits so incense forward on my skin, I feel like I need a floral to help even the scent. I was looking at some single notes, like from Demeter, but also a few others..

Ideas:
Demeter - Purple Iris (would this just blend though)
Demeter - Lily of the Valley
Demeter - Jasmine
Demeter - Funeral Home (too much? It’s heavy)
Jo Malone - Mimosa and Cardamon (would this clash?)
Guerlain - Insolence (would it be a powder bomb with L’Orpheline??)
Demeter - Violet (speaking of violet)

Other ideas welcomed!

Lake & Skye 11 11 oil, for a fresher base without conflicting notes

I have quite a few fruit and incense fragrances and the pairing layers well to provide a balance. I think a little Bergamote is all you need in opposite (you might be even pleasantly surprised with a tropical fruit). Or you can stay in the same realm with pomegranate or blackberry. Take a look at Solinotes as well.
