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

- Notes in commonBoth list rose and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, earthy and patchouli run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: V is long lasting and strong, Astaral long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointV first, then Astaral over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
