How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is By the Fireplace, blue is Fit of Folly. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

VetiverWhy it might work
- A shared threadWoody, balsamic, warm spicy and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put By the Fireplace in winter and fall and Fit of Folly in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: By the Fireplace is moderate on both, Fit of Folly eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOne spray of each, on different spots.Neither is clearly deeper or stronger, so start even. Adjust to taste.
