Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenEscada 2005 brings floral; 212 Men brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadGreen, citrus, aromatic and woody run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Escada 2005 is moderate on both, 212 Men moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
