- Flowers over greenUltraviolet Aquatic Plastic brings floral; Acqua di Gio Absolu brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadFruity, sweet and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ultraviolet Aquatic Plastic is weak and moderate, Acqua di Gio Absolu long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUltraviolet Aquatic Plastic first, then Acqua di Gio Absolu over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
