Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenOmnia Crystalline brings floral; Ombre Noire brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadWoody, green and fresh run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Ombre Noire in winter and fall and Omnia Crystalline in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ombre Noire is moderate on both, Omnia Crystalline moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
