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

- Light over deepTel Aviv brings citrus; Boss Number One brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, rose, sandalwood and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Boss Number One in fall and winter and Tel Aviv in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
What to watch
- One will leadBoss Number One is voted long lasting and strong; Tel Aviv very weak and intimate. Expect Boss Number One to lead and Tel Aviv to fade first.
