- Light over deepAcqua di Gio Absolu brings aromatic and citrus; Very Sexy Summer brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, fruity and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Very Sexy Summer is moderate on both, Acqua di Gio Absolu long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVery Sexy Summer 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.
