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

- Light over deepFars brings aromatic; Cuir brings smoky and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list juniper, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, animalic and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuir is long lasting and moderate, Fars long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCuir first, then Fars over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
