The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Chinatown, blue is Amber Fever. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody, vanilla and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Chinatown is long lasting and moderate, Amber Fever long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAmber Fever first, then Chinatown over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
