Why it might work

Sweet meets spiceIncense Oud brings amber; Tardes brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
Notes in commonBoth list rose, geranium, virginia cedar and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic and woody run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tardes is moderate on both, Incense Oud long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

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

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