How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Eau Fraiche, blue is Dark Obsession. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepEau Fraiche brings aromatic and green; Dark Obsession brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Eau Fraiche in summer and spring and Dark Obsession in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eau Fraiche is moderate on both, Dark Obsession moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDark Obsession first, then Eau Fraiche over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
