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

- Flowers over greenEquinox Bloom brings floral; Bois Blond brings green and woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWhite floral and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Equinox Bloom in spring and Bois Blond in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Equinox Bloom is long lasting and moderate, Bois Blond long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEquinox Bloom first, then Bois Blond over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
