Citrus, sweet and coconut meets woody, amber and citrus. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Lemon Escape, blue is Suede Orris. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepLemon Escape brings citrus; Suede Orris brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lemon Escape is weak and intimate, Suede Orris weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSuede Orris first, then Lemon Escape over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
