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

- Flowers over greenMandarino brings floral; Io Capri brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Io Capri is moderate on both, Mandarino moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMandarino 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.
