SuedeWhy it might work
- Light over deepPolaris brings aromatic and citrus; Vetyver brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list tonka bean, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetyver is moderate on both, Polaris long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointVetyver first, then Polaris over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
