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

- Light over deepAbsinth brings aromatic and green; Sicilian Limes brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, fresh spicy and earthy run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Absinth in spring and fall and Sicilian Limes in summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Absinth is moderate on both, Sicilian Limes moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAbsinth first, then Sicilian Limes over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
