How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Flowers over greenPremier Jour brings floral; Mortel brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadWoody runs through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Premier Jour in spring and Mortel in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Premier Jour is moderate on both, Mortel 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 pointMortel first, then Premier Jour over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
