Why it might work
  • Light over deepOriana brings citrus; Dark Obsession brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadSweet, fruity, powdery and vanilla run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Oriana in spring and Dark Obsession in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Oriana is moderate on both, Dark Obsession moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
