- Light over deepCashmere Mist Gold Essence brings green; Barfly brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, citrus and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cashmere Mist Gold Essence is moderate on both, Barfly moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBarfly first, then Cashmere Mist Gold Essence over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
