- Light over deepBois de Cyprès brings aromatic; Los Angeles brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange and clary sage, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois de Cyprès is moderate on both, Los Angeles moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLos Angeles first, then Bois de Cyprès over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
