Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBack to Paradise brings floral; Carbon Sapphire brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, woody, warm spicy and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Back to Paradise in summer and spring and Carbon Sapphire in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Back to Paradise is eternal and enormous, Carbon Sapphire eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
