Virginia CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepFrom the Garden brings aromatic and green; Musc Impérial brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: From the Garden is moderate on both, Musc Impérial moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMusc Impérial first, then From the Garden over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
