CashmirwoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepVirdin Island brings citrus; B. brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh and floral run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Virdin Island is moderate on both, B. moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointB. first, then Virdin Island over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
