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

- Light over deepLignum Idealis brings aromatic; Ta'if Elixir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ta'if Elixir is eternal and strong, Lignum Idealis long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointTa'if Elixir first, then Lignum Idealis over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
