Why it might work
  • Light over deepUltra Male brings aromatic; Paradiso brings woody. 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 threadAromatic, fresh spicy and green run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Ultra Male in winter and fall and Paradiso in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ultra Male is long lasting and strong, Paradiso moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
What to watch
  • An unusual mixVanilla and citrus are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointUltra Male first, then Paradiso over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
