How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Light over deepLapel brings aromatic; Velour brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, powdery, aromatic and sweet run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Velour in fall and winter and Lapel in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Velour is long lasting and moderate, Lapel long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointVelour first, then Lapel over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
