How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Zen 2000, blue is Sparkling Tamarind. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepSparkling Tamarind brings citrus; Zen 2000 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Zen 2000 is moderate on both, Sparkling Tamarind long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointZen 2000 first, then Sparkling Tamarind over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
