How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Must de, blue is Hero. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody, amber, aromatic and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Must de is long lasting and strong, Hero moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHero first, then Must de over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
