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

- Light over deepFunctional Fragrance brings aromatic; Us brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, iris and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Functional Fragrance is moderate on both, Us moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUs first, then Functional Fragrance over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
