Why it might work

  • Notes in commonBoth list agarwood (oud), so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWarm spicy, woody and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put La Colle Noire in spring and Oud in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
