Lily-of-the-ValleyWhy it might work
- Light over deepBoss Elements brings aromatic; Northern Love brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list jasmine, sandalwood and leather, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, leather, powdery and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Northern Love is long lasting and moderate, Boss Elements moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNorthern Love first, then Boss Elements over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
