Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenRose Noir brings floral; Amberwood brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list musk, labdanum and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadMusky, woody, amber and powdery run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Noir is moderate on both, Amberwood long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
