Why it might work
  • Light over deepGUN GIRL brings aromatic and citrus; Noir brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, vanilla and leather, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, fresh spicy, woody and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Noir in winter and fall and GUN GIRL in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Noir is long lasting and moderate, GUN GIRL moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
