How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Light over deepAndante brings aromatic; Contralto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Andante is long lasting and strong, 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 Andante over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
