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

- Light over deepDolce Sonata brings citrus; Contralto brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadSweet, citrus, amber and balsamic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Dolce Sonata in winter and fall and Contralto in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dolce Sonata is long lasting and strong, Contralto long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointContralto first, then Dolce Sonata over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
