How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Vanille Fatale, blue is Demi-Jour. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Notes in commonBoth list rose, oakmoss and violet, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanille Fatale is long lasting and moderate, Demi-Jour long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanille Fatale first, then Demi-Jour over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
