Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenGold brings floral; Midnight Shimmer brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list freesia and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, powdery, musky and amber run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gold is moderate on both, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
