Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenBritannia Jubilee Limited Edition brings floral; Nombre Noir brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadFloral, rose, sweet and amber run through both.
  • Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Britannia Jubilee Limited Edition is eternal and enormous, Nombre Noir long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
