CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepAquilaria Blossom brings citrus; Floriental brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, balsamic and sweet run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Floriental is moderate on both, Aquilaria Blossom long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointFloriental first, then Aquilaria Blossom over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
