Why it might work
  • Notes in commonBoth list amber, sandalwood and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadAmber, woody and powdery run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Poise in winter and Al Maqam in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Poise is moderate on both, Al Maqam eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.

A starting pointAl Maqam first, then Poise over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
