MuskWhy it might work
- Light over deepDover Street Market brings aromatic; Brilliant Wish brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody and amber run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dover Street Market is moderate on both, Brilliant Wish moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBrilliant Wish first, then Dover Street Market over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
