How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is 1001 OUDS, blue is A Perfume. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepA Perfume brings citrus; 1001 OUDS brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and balsamic run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1001 OUDS is eternal and moderate, A Perfume 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 point1001 OUDS first, then A Perfume over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
