How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Capeline, blue is Nordic Fougère. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepCapeline brings citrus; Nordic Fougère brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, vanilla, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Capeline is moderate on both, Nordic Fougère moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCapeline first, then Nordic Fougère over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
