- Flowers over greenElisabethan Rose - Vintage brings floral; Ombre Noire brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, aromatic and fresh run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Elisabethan Rose - Vintage in spring and Ombre Noire in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Elisabethan Rose - Vintage is moderate on both, Ombre Noire moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOmbre Noire first, then Elisabethan Rose - Vintage over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
