Woodsy NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepMilady brings aromatic; Eau des Merveilles Constellation brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic runs through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Milady is very weak and enormous, Eau des Merveilles Constellation long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMilady first, then Eau des Merveilles Constellation over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
