HeliotropeWhy it might work
- Light over deepCuir Solaire brings citrus; Almas brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list amber, vanilla and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, warm spicy, powdery and leather run through both.
What to watch
- Two loud onesBoth are voted strong projectors (Almas: eternal and strong; Cuir Solaire: long lasting and enormous). Go light on both.
A starting pointCuir Solaire first, then Almas over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
