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

CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepLemon Sorbet brings citrus and aromatic; Philosykos Limited Edition brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and green run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lemon Sorbet is moderate on both, Philosykos Limited Edition moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
What to watch
- An unusual mixAromatic and sweet are often kept apart. Try it on skin before committing.
A starting pointPhilosykos Limited Edition first, then Lemon Sorbet over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
