The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is J.Crew No. 31, blue is Jardin de L'Orangerie. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put J.Crew No. 31 in fall and Jardin de L'Orangerie in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: J.Crew No. 31 is very weak and enormous, Jardin de L'Orangerie moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJ.Crew No. 31 first, then Jardin de L'Orangerie over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
