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

- Flowers over greenMalmaison brings floral; Sandalwood brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, musk and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sandalwood is moderate and intimate, Malmaison moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSandalwood first, then Malmaison over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
