The blend

How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Light over deepNew York brings citrus and aromatic; Antaeus brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list amalfi lemon, bergamot, thyme and castoreum, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadCitrus and aromatic run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: New York is long lasting and moderate, Antaeus long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointAntaeus first, then New York over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
