How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is VAR, blue is ARC. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Light over deepVAR brings aromatic; ARC brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody, aromatic, earthy and green run through both.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: VAR is long lasting and strong, ARC long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
