When your leftover Body sprays and body butters/cremes etc don't match

I'm wanting to use up all my oddments of body sprays and body butters etc and purely have 1 of each ultimately. I've looked up ideas and pretty much found the suggestion of layering. Here's the thing nothing matches in exact fragrance. I have body butters/cremes in frangpani, rose, pear and shea. I have body sprays in wild flowers and red berries and my DD has even more that could do with using up. How do we 'pair' them? Daughter's thoughts are just to put the floral ones together regardless and same with the fruit, I don't know if this would create an overpowering clashing smell? It just seems a shame to throw still usable products at the same time I don't want to go out and buy even more items so everything matches when the ultimate aim is to reduce. Would appreciate suggestions.

    I agree with your daughter - it wouldn't have occurred to me to try to match everything anyway! You could always try out a few combos, and if there are any that really don't match, just wash it off...

    Same as above, a bit of mix and match to use them up.  I would not think any body butters and sprays have “overpowering smells”, by their nature they are quite mild.
