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

Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepDark Tea brings aromatic; Green Tea Bamboo brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, earthy and green run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Dark Tea in fall and Green Tea Bamboo in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dark Tea is weak and moderate, Green Tea Bamboo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDark Tea first, then Green Tea Bamboo over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
