The blend

How the pair leans

Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Smitten, blue is Lucky Candy. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

Why it might work

Light over deepLucky Candy brings citrus; Smitten brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWhite floral and citrus run through both.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointLucky Candy first, then Smitten over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
