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

- Light over deepAqva Divina brings citrus; Imitation Man brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fresh spicy, floral and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Imitation Man in fall and spring and Aqva Divina in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Imitation Man is long lasting and strong, Aqva Divina moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointImitation Man first, then Aqva Divina over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
