Warm spicy, woody and iris meets woody, aromatic and amber. They share five accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Iris Oriental 14, blue is GRAND CUVÉE. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepGRAND CUVÉE brings aromatic; Iris Oriental 14 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, amber, powdery and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Iris Oriental 14 in fall and GRAND CUVÉE in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Iris Oriental 14 is moderate on both, GRAND CUVÉE moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIris Oriental 14 first, then GRAND CUVÉE over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
