Why it might work
  • Light over deep1A-33 brings citrus; Shiseido MG 5 brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadCitrus and floral run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put 1A-33 in spring and summer and Shiseido MG 5 in winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: 1A-33 is moderate on both, Shiseido MG 5 very weak and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting point1A-33 first, then Shiseido MG 5 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
