Why it might work
  • Light over deepBlue Spirit brings citrus; Hidden Shades brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadCitrus, amber, sweet and fruity run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Blue Spirit in summer and Hidden Shades in fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Blue Spirit is moderate on both, Hidden Shades moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
