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

- Light over deepBold Blend brings aromatic and green; Splash brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and soft spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Bold Blend in spring and Splash in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bold Blend is moderate on both, Splash moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSplash first, then Bold Blend over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
