White floral, woody and fruity meets citrus, sweet and floral. They share two accords and no notes.
The blend
How the pair leans
Each bar adds the two accord profiles, assuming one spray of each. Gold is Jardin Secret, blue is Aqua Allegoria Gentiana. It's arithmetic on the data, not a test on skin.

- Light over deepAqua Allegoria Gentiana brings citrus; Jardin Secret brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and aromatic run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Jardin Secret in fall and Aqua Allegoria Gentiana in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Jardin Secret is moderate on both, Aqua Allegoria Gentiana moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJardin Secret first, then Aqua Allegoria Gentiana over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
