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.

Why it might work

  • 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.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
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.
