Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, musky and citrus run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Un Bois in spring and fall and Eau Tropicale in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Un Bois is moderate and intimate, Eau Tropicale moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
