The blend
How the pair leans

- Light over deepAcqua di Neroli brings citrus; Magician brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and fresh spicy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Magician in winter and fall and Acqua di Neroli in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Magician is moderate on both, Acqua di Neroli moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMagician first, then Acqua di Neroli over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
