- Light over deepCalifornia Blossom brings citrus; 2 Wood DSQUARED² brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadCitrus, fresh spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: California Blossom is moderate on both, 2 Wood DSQUARED² moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting point2 Wood DSQUARED² first, then California Blossom over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
