Ebony WoodWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenPleasures Flower brings floral; Acqua di Gio Absolu Instinct brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and lemon, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pleasures Flower is very weak and strong, Acqua di Gio Absolu Instinct long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAcqua di Gio Absolu Instinct first, then Pleasures Flower over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
