LavenderWhy it might work
- Light over deepRoman Ruin Cypress brings aromatic and citrus; Rose Épicée brings amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rose Épicée is long lasting and intimate, Roman Ruin Cypress moderate and intimate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose Épicée first, then Roman Ruin Cypress over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
