Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenJimmy Choo Exotic (2016) brings floral; Volcano brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody, patchouli and floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Volcano in fall and winter and Jimmy Choo Exotic (2016) in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Volcano is long lasting and moderate, Jimmy Choo Exotic (2016) moderate and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
