How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Sweet in fall and spring and Velvet Petals in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sweet is moderate on both, Velvet Petals weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
