Note pairing

Layering Basil with benzoin

Basil and benzoin meet across 36 scored SprayStacker stacks — both live in the base of a blend, so they deepen each other instead of fighting.

Why the pairing works

Both notes usually sit in the base of a pyramid, so layered from two bottles they melt into one deep accord instead of reading as two separate sprays — that overlap is what makes Basil + benzoin a community staple.
