The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is 5th Avenue Nights, blue is La Fumee. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Sweet meets spiceLa Fumee brings amber; 5th Avenue Nights brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadPowdery and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 5th Avenue Nights is moderate on both, La Fumee moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLa Fumee first, then 5th Avenue Nights over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
