Contrast pairing
Thai Wood × Derby (Vintage)
Woody, vanilla and warm spicy meets woody, fresh spicy and aromatic. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Thai Wood, blue is Derby (Vintage). It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepDerby (Vintage) brings aromatic; Thai Wood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Thai Wood is eternal and strong, Derby (Vintage) eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThai Wood first, then Derby (Vintage) over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
