The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Iris Homme, blue is Bois Sikar. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepIris Homme brings aromatic; Bois Sikar brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, amber and sweet run through both.
A starting pointBois Sikar first, then Iris Homme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
