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

AmberWhy it might work
- Light over deepRoyal Water brings citrus; Capua brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Royal Water in summer and spring and Capua in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Royal Water is moderate on both, Capua long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCapua 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.
