AmberWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenAmbition brings floral; Magie Noire Parfum brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, spices and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, earthy and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Magie Noire Parfum in winter and fall and Ambition in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
What to watch
- One will leadMagie Noire Parfum is voted eternal and enormous; Ambition long lasting and strong. Expect Magie Noire Parfum to lead and Ambition to fade first.
