Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenL'Instant Magic brings floral; Nitro Gold brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadSweet, woody and musky run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Instant Magic in winter and fall and Nitro Gold in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
