How the pair leans

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

Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenIris brings floral; DK brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadFloral, powdery, woody and musky run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Iris in spring and DK in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Iris is moderate on both, DK long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
