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

- Flowers over greenWater Calligraphy brings floral; Gardenia brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWhite floral and floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gardenia is moderate and strong, Water Calligraphy moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGardenia first, then Water Calligraphy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
