- Flowers over greenL'Instant Magic Limited Edition brings floral; Sentosa 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 threadPowdery, woody, musky and vanilla run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Instant Magic Limited Edition is moderate on both, Sentosa moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointSentosa first, then L'Instant Magic Limited Edition over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
