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

- Light over deepCentral Park brings citrus and green; El brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and white floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put El in fall and winter and Central Park in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: El is long lasting and strong, Central Park moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEl first, then Central Park over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
