Citrus, fresh spicy and fresh meets woody, aromatic and rose. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Royal Water, blue is Windsor. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepRoyal Water brings citrus; Windsor brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Water is moderate on both, Windsor moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointWindsor first, then Royal Water over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
