- Light over deepBois Dormant brings green and aromatic; Zara Rose Elixir brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, bergamot, vanilla and sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, amber and balsamic run through both.
A starting pointZara Rose Elixir first, then Bois Dormant over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
