- Light over deepCarios brings aromatic; L'Homme Intense brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list cedarwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWarm spicy, woody, vanilla and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for winter.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Homme Intense is long lasting and moderate, Carios long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Homme Intense first, then Carios over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
