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

- Light over deepBatucada brings citrus and aromatic; Caligna brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, green, sweet and white floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Batucada is moderate on both, Caligna moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCaligna first, then Batucada over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
