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

Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Notes in commonBoth list patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSmoky, warm spicy, woody and patchouli run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rouge is moderate on both, Derby long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDerby first, then Rouge over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
