CedarWhy it might work
- Light over deepHomme L'Eau Boisée brings green and aromatic; Demi-Jour brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody and fresh run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Homme L'Eau Boisée is long lasting and moderate, Demi-Jour long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDemi-Jour first, then Homme L'Eau Boisée over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
