The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Violaceum 2, blue is De Los Santos. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadPowdery, soft spicy and iris run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violaceum 2 is moderate on both, De Los Santos moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointViolaceum 2 first, then De Los Santos over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
