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

SandalwoodWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenReve brings floral; Tactics brings woody and green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tactics is moderate on both, Reve moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointReve first, then Tactics over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
