- Light over deepL’Homme Idéal Cool brings green, aromatic and citrus; Honour Man brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list vetiver and patchouli, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy and woody run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L’Homme Idéal Cool is moderate on both, Honour Man long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointHonour Man first, then L’Homme Idéal Cool over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
