How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Samba Ice Woman, blue is Emir. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepEmir brings aromatic and citrus; Samba Ice Woman brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, rose and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Samba Ice Woman is eternal and enormous, Emir long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSamba Ice Woman first, then Emir over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
