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

CedarWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceMortal Skin brings amber; Vanilla Vixen brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- A shared threadSweet, powdery and balsamic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vanilla Vixen is very weak and strong, Mortal Skin long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVanilla Vixen first, then Mortal Skin over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
