The blend

How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Icon, blue is Mayotte. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepIcon brings aromatic and citrus; Mayotte brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list neroli and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadCitrus, woody, white floral and floral run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Icon in spring and summer and Mayotte in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Icon is moderate on both, Mayotte eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
