SandalwoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepSweet Lemon brings citrus and aromatic; L Red Tea Vetiver brings woody and smoky. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, woody and powdery run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sweet Lemon is very weak and moderate, L Red Tea Vetiver moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL Red Tea Vetiver first, then Sweet Lemon over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
