How the pair leans

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

  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Body Kouros is long lasting and moderate, Rising Sun moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
