- Light over deepDior Homme Original brings aromatic; Joy brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadWoody, powdery, warm spicy and aromatic run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Joy is moderate on both, Dior Homme Original moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointDior Homme Original first, then Joy over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
