Why it might work
  • Light over deepColonia Futura brings citrus and aromatic; Manhattan brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list lavender, bergamot, pink pepper and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Manhattan in fall and winter and Colonia Futura in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Manhattan is long lasting and strong, Colonia Futura moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
What to watch
  • An unusual mixVanilla and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
