Amber, tobacco and fresh spicy meets woody, floral and violet. They share one accord and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Avant Garde, blue is Times Square. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadAmber runs through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Avant Garde is moderate on both, Times Square moderate and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTimes Square first, then Avant Garde over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
