Woody, warm spicy and amber meets citrus, amber and musky. 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 24 rue de l'Université, blue is Topaz. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepTopaz brings citrus; 24 rue de l'Université brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and amber run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put 24 rue de l'Université in fall and winter and Topaz in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 24 rue de l'Université is long lasting and moderate, Topaz long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point24 rue de l'Université first, then Topaz over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
