OakmossWhy it might work
- Light over deepDear Polly brings green and citrus; Costa Azzurra brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Costa Azzurra is moderate on both, Dear Polly moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCosta Azzurra first, then Dear Polly over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
