Notes in commonBoth list tonka bean and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadWoody and citrus run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Gorgeous! is moderate on both, L'Homme moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.

Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.

A starting pointGorgeous! first, then L'Homme over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
