VanillaWhy it might work
- Light over deepLeather & Artemisia brings aromatic; Carolina brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Leather & Artemisia is moderate and intimate, Carolina moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLeather & Artemisia first, then Carolina over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
