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

- A shared threadWarm spicy, amber and balsamic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cafe Arabesque is moderate on both, Oud Imperial long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOud Imperial first, then Cafe Arabesque over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
