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

- Light over deepVetiver and Orange brings citrus and aromatic; Voilette de Madame brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet and earthy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Voilette de Madame in winter and fall and Vetiver and Orange in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Voilette de Madame is eternal and strong, Vetiver and Orange long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVoilette de Madame first, then Vetiver and Orange over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
