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

Woodsy NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepFirst Edition Or brings citrus; Tsar brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, jasmine, rose and lily-of-the-valley, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Tsar in fall and winter and First Edition Or in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Tsar is long lasting and moderate, First Edition Or long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFirst Edition Or first, then Tsar over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
