The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Only Blue, blue is N°5 Eau Premiere. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Only Blue in summer and N°5 Eau Premiere in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Only Blue is moderate on both, N°5 Eau Premiere moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
