The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Lacrima, blue is Acqua di Gioia. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- 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.
A starting pointLacrima first, then Acqua di Gioia over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
