- Flowers over greenDemi-Jour brings floral; À L’Ombre brings earthy. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, orris root, oakmoss and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, iris, woody and white floral run through both.
