- Light over deepCH Garden Party brings citrus; New York Sandalwood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, warm spicy and fruity run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put New York Sandalwood in fall and winter and CH Garden Party in summer and spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: New York Sandalwood is long lasting and moderate, CH Garden Party moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNew York Sandalwood first, then CH Garden Party over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
