How the pair leans

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

Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenAngelique brings floral; Mahon Leather brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • A shared threadPowdery, iris, woody and amber run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Angelique in spring and Mahon Leather in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Angelique is moderate on both, Mahon Leather moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
