How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Ideal Oud, blue is Coco Noir Extrait. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepCoco Noir Extrait brings citrus; Ideal Oud brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, rose and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ideal Oud is long lasting and strong, Coco Noir Extrait eternal and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIdeal Oud first, then Coco Noir Extrait over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
