Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenMatin brings floral; Jour d'Hermes brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, fresh, white floral and green run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Matin is weak and moderate, Jour d'Hermes moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
