Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deep24K Brilliant Gold brings citrus; Cuirs brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody runs through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Cuirs in fall and winter and 24K Brilliant Gold in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cuirs is long lasting and moderate, 24K Brilliant Gold moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCuirs first, then 24K Brilliant Gold over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
