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

- A shared threadFloral, citrus and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanitas is moderate on both, Grapefruit Incense moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanitas first, then Grapefruit Incense over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
