Warm spicy, tobacco and rum meets citrus, aromatic and fresh spicy. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Side Effect, blue is Moustache Eau de Toilette. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody and sweet run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Side Effect in winter and fall and Moustache Eau de Toilette in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Side Effect is long lasting and strong, Moustache Eau de Toilette moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSide Effect first, then Moustache Eau de Toilette over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
