SandalwoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepZen Original brings green; Cosmic Woods brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, floral, green and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Cosmic Woods is moderate on both, Zen Original moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointCosmic Woods first, then Zen Original over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
