The blend
How the pair leans

- A shared threadSweet and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Nota Loca in summer and Black XS 2018 in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Nota Loca is moderate on both, Black XS 2018 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBlack XS 2018 first, then Nota Loca over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
