Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenFacets of Him brings floral; Derby brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, floral and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Derby in fall and winter and Facets of Him in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Derby is long lasting and strong, Facets of Him moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
