Why it might work
  • 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.
