How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Sicily, blue is Black Oud. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Notes in commonBoth list rose, musk and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadFresh spicy, powdery, sweet and woody run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Sicily in summer and fall and Black Oud in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sicily is long lasting and strong, Black 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 pointBlack Oud first, then Sicily over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
