- Flowers over greenJardin de l'Élysée brings floral; L’Homme Idéal Cool brings green. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadGreen, citrus and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L’Homme Idéal Cool is moderate on both, Jardin de l'Élysée long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointJardin de l'Élysée 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.
