- Notes in commonBoth list mandarin orange, sage and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, musky, warm spicy and citrus run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Utopia in spring and Homme Exceptionnel in fall and winter. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Utopia is moderate on both, Homme Exceptionnel moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointUtopia first, then Homme Exceptionnel over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
