VanillaWhy it might work
- Flowers over greenVents et Marées brings floral; Acqua di Gioia Essenza 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 threadSweet, white floral, aromatic and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Acqua di Gioia Essenza is long lasting and strong, Vents et Marées moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAcqua di Gioia Essenza first, then Vents et Marées over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
