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

- Light over deepDarcy brings citrus; Desert Sermons brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, sweet and warm spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Darcy is moderate on both, Desert Sermons moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDesert Sermons first, then Darcy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
