The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Dark, blue is Imperial Iris Cologne. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Dark in winter and fall and Imperial Iris Cologne in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dark is moderate on both, Imperial Iris Cologne long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDark first, then Imperial Iris Cologne over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
