How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Smoke Show, blue is Los Angeles. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work
  • Light over deepLos Angeles brings aromatic; Smoke Show brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Smoke Show in fall and Los Angeles in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Smoke Show is moderate on both, Los Angeles moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
