The blend

How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Allegro, blue is Contralto. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepAllegro brings citrus; Contralto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list pink pepper and cashmeran, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody, citrus, powdery and amber run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Allegro is long lasting and enormous, Contralto long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

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