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

- Flowers over greenDemi-Jour brings floral; My New York brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, rose and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Demi-Jour is long lasting and strong, My New York long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDemi-Jour first, then My New York over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
