Palo SantoWhy it might work
- Light over deepHexensalbe brings aromatic; Cashmere & Palo Santo brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, balsamic, musky and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Hexensalbe is moderate on both, Cashmere & Palo Santo moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCashmere & Palo Santo first, then Hexensalbe over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
