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

- Light over deepOuverture brings citrus; Sandal brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sandal is long lasting and strong, Ouverture long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSandal first, then Ouverture over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
