Woodsy NotesWhy it might work
- Fresh on freshHeartless Helen brings citrus; Basilico & Fellini brings green and aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
- A shared threadGreen and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Basilico & Fellini is moderate on both, Heartless Helen moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHeartless Helen first, then Basilico & Fellini over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
