Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenExplicite brings floral; III brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood and vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, woody and powdery run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Explicite is long lasting and strong, III long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
