Sweet, nutty and amber meets citrus, floral and woody. They share one accord and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Pure Purple, blue is Amber Oud White Edition. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadFloral runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Pure Purple in fall and winter and Amber Oud White Edition in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pure Purple is moderate on both, Amber Oud White Edition long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointPure Purple first, then Amber Oud White Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
