Why it might work

Light over deepWild Thistle brings green; Homme brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
A shared threadWoody, aromatic and fresh spicy run through both.
Opposite seasonsVoters put Wild Thistle in summer and spring and Homme in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Wild Thistle is long lasting and strong, Homme eternal and strong, so neither should bury the other.

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

A starting pointHomme first, then Wild Thistle over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
