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

Tonka BeanWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenAsana brings floral; The Dark Side brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, violet and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, warm spicy and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: The Dark Side is long lasting and strong, Asana long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointThe Dark Side first, then Asana over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
