Madagascar VanillaWhy it might work
- Light over deepDouro brings citrus and aromatic; Aoud Blue Notes brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list lemon, mandarin orange and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus and woody run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Douro is moderate on both, Aoud Blue Notes long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointAoud Blue Notes first, then Douro over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
