CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deep1A-33 brings citrus; Dolce Violet brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadPowdery, floral, green and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Dolce Violet is moderate on both, 1A-33 moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDolce Violet first, then 1A-33 over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
