Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenOr et Noir brings floral; An Air Of Despair brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: An Air Of Despair is moderate on both, Or et Noir long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAn Air Of Despair first, then Or et Noir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
