Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Cristobal in fall and winter and High Voltage in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cristobal is moderate on both, High Voltage long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
