Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadPowdery, vanilla, woody and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Homme in fall and winter and Zeus in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Homme is long lasting and strong, Zeus long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
