Sea waterWhy it might work
- Light over deepSous le Vent brings aromatic, citrus and green; Zen Concentrated brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and jasmine, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, citrus, floral and fresh spicy run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sous le Vent is moderate on both, Zen Concentrated long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointZen Concentrated first, then Sous le Vent over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
