Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepEnergy C Grapefruit brings citrus and aromatic; Forever Sexy brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody and white floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Energy C Grapefruit is moderate and intimate, Forever Sexy moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointForever Sexy first, then Energy C Grapefruit over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
