- Flowers over greenL'Instant Magic Extract brings floral; Air di Gioia brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFloral and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Instant Magic Extract in fall and winter and Air di Gioia in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Instant Magic Extract is long lasting and strong, Air di Gioia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Instant Magic Extract first, then Air di Gioia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
