Why it might work
  • Light over deepAcqua di Gioia brings citrus, aromatic and green; Lacrima brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadAromatic, woody and fresh spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Lacrima in fall and winter and Acqua di Gioia in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Lacrima is long lasting and strong, Acqua di Gioia moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
