Cashmere WoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepEau de Bain brings citrus; Cotton Flower brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadPowdery, musky and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Eau de Bain is moderate on both, Cotton Flower weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCotton Flower first, then Eau de Bain over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
