White floral, amber and vanilla meets woody, oud and animalic. They share one accord and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is La Corte, blue is Alexandria Imperiale. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put La Corte in fall and spring and Alexandria Imperiale in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: La Corte is long lasting and moderate, Alexandria Imperiale eternal and enormous, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAlexandria Imperiale first, then La Corte over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
