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

OudWhy it might work
- Light over deepAllure brings citrus; Incense brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Allure is long lasting and moderate, Incense long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIncense first, then Allure over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
