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

- Light over deepChai brings green and aromatic; Cologne Francaise brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, green and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cologne Francaise is moderate on both, Chai moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCologne Francaise first, then Chai over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
