How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Cider Oud, blue is Squid. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Notes in commonBoth list incense, ambergris and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSmoky, amber, warm spicy and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Cider Oud in winter and Squid in fall and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
