Harmony pairing

Us × Flying

Woody, citrus and amber meets citrus, white floral and floral. They share four accords and three notes.

The blend

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

Why it might work

Light over deepFlying brings citrus; Us brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, moss and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, musky and fresh spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Us is moderate and intimate, Flying moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

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

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