The blend

How the pair leans

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

Why it might work

Flowers over greenDelma brings floral; VII brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
A shared threadPowdery and woody run through both.
Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Delma is long lasting and moderate, VII long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointVII first, then Delma over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
