CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepDot brings citrus; Cedarwood and Bergamot brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, amber, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dot is moderate on both, Cedarwood and Bergamot long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCedarwood and Bergamot first, then Dot over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
