SandalwoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepRose Aria brings green; Vetiver brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose and galbanum, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic and green run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Vetiver is eternal and moderate, Rose Aria long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRose Aria first, then Vetiver over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
