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

- Sweet meets spiceCanadian Tuxedo brings amber; Compulsion brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody and balsamic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Compulsion in spring and summer and Canadian Tuxedo in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Compulsion is moderate on both, Canadian Tuxedo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCanadian Tuxedo first, then Compulsion over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
