Balsam FirWhy it might work
- Light over deepHugo Energise brings citrus and aromatic; Boss Man brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, fruity and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hugo Energise is moderate on both, Boss Man moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBoss Man first, then Hugo Energise over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
