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

- Fresh on freshIo Capri brings citrus; Matchbox Romance brings aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadAromatic and floral run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Matchbox Romance in fall and winter and Io Capri in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Matchbox Romance is moderate on both, Io Capri moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMatchbox Romance first, then Io Capri over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
