Why it might work
  • Light over deepMyriad brings citrus; Magnificent Black brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, amber and animalic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Magnificent Black in fall and winter and Myriad in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Magnificent Black is long lasting and moderate, Myriad moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
