How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Light over deepRafale brings aromatic; Expedition brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, patchouli, lemon and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rafale is moderate and strong, Expedition moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointExpedition first, then Rafale over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
