Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenLa Colle Noire brings floral; Metal brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list lemon, lily-of-the-valley, amber and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, fresh, woody and white floral run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: La Colle Noire is long lasting and moderate, Metal moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
