Why it might work
  • Light over deepFlâneur brings aromatic; Princess Noir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, sweet and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Princess Noir in fall and winter and Flâneur in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Princess Noir is moderate on both, Flâneur moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
