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

- Light over deepUltima Storia brings citrus; Shiro brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fresh, fruity and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Shiro is moderate on both, Ultima Storia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUltima Storia first, then Shiro over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
