CedarWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenHummingbird brings floral; L'instant Magic Eau de Parfum brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, green and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hummingbird is long lasting and moderate, L'instant Magic Eau de Parfum moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'instant Magic Eau de Parfum first, then Hummingbird over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
