- Opposite seasonsVoters put Exquisite in fall and winter and Gentlemen Only Parisian Break in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Exquisite is very weak and moderate, Gentlemen Only Parisian Break moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
