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

- Light over deepFortitude brings citrus; Bois d’Ombrie brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Fortitude in spring and Bois d’Ombrie in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Fortitude is long lasting and moderate, Bois d’Ombrie long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBois d’Ombrie first, then Fortitude over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
