How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is 5th Avenue, blue is Orient Oud. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Flowers over green5th Avenue brings floral; Orient Oud brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put 5th Avenue in spring and Orient Oud in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 5th Avenue is moderate on both, Orient Oud moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointOrient Oud first, then 5th Avenue over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
