- Light over deepLucky Candy brings citrus; Nuit d Issey brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Nuit d Issey in fall and winter and Lucky Candy in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Nuit d Issey is moderate on both, Lucky Candy moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNuit d Issey first, then Lucky Candy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
