Contrast pairing
Royal Oud × Lucius
Woody, animalic and rose meets citrus, woody and amber. 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 Royal Oud, blue is Lucius. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepLucius brings citrus; Royal Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Oud is long lasting and moderate, Lucius long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixAnimalic and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointRoyal Oud first, then Lucius over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
