- Light over deepCactus Garden brings citrus and aromatic; Wind Wood brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, aromatic and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cactus Garden is moderate on both, Wind Wood long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointWind Wood first, then Cactus Garden over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
