- Light over deepCourageous brings citrus; Hero Elixir de Parfum brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadPowdery and animalic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Courageous is moderate on both, Hero Elixir de Parfum long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHero Elixir de Parfum first, then Courageous over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
