Woody NotesWhy it might work
- Light over deepÔver The Top brings green and aromatic; Balle de Match brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadFresh spicy, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Balle de Match is moderate on both, Ôver The Top moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBalle de Match first, then Ôver The Top over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
