Why it might work

  • A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Nectarium in fall and Cologne du Maté in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Nectarium is moderate on both, Cologne du Maté moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
