Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenKintsugi brings floral; Montecristo brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadMusky, amber, floral and sweet run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Montecristo is long lasting and moderate, Kintsugi long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
