Cedar LeavesWhy it might work
- Light over deepMagnolios brings green; Indigo Smoke brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, citrus, aromatic and warm spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Magnolios is very weak and moderate, Indigo Smoke moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointIndigo Smoke first, then Magnolios over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
