MuskWhy it might work
- Light over deepAbove the Waves brings aromatic; Libre Hair Mist brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and amber run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Above the Waves is moderate on both, Libre Hair Mist moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLibre Hair Mist first, then Above the Waves over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
