How the pair leans

Why it might work

Light over deepMadrigal brings citrus and aromatic; Gold Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody runs through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Gold Oud in fall and winter and Madrigal in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gold Oud is eternal and moderate, Madrigal moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

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

A starting pointGold Oud first, then Madrigal over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
