MossWhy it might work
- Sweet meets spiceMidnight Shimmer brings amber; Sweet Milk brings vanilla. Spice cuts sweetness and sweetness rounds spice.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadSweet, vanilla, powdery and floral run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Sweet Milk is very weak and enormous, Midnight Shimmer moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMidnight Shimmer first, then Sweet Milk over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
