Why it might work
  • Fresh on freshL’Homme Idéal brings citrus; Notes brings aromatic. Two fresh profiles stack into something brighter than either.
  • Notes in commonBoth list orange blossom, tonka bean and vetiver, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadCitrus, aromatic, sweet and woody run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L’Homme Idéal in fall and winter and Notes in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L’Homme Idéal is moderate on both, Notes moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
