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

- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus and powdery run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dear Lord is moderate on both, Dear Polly moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDear Lord first, then Dear Polly over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
