- Light over deepGeranium Pour Monsieur brings aromatic and green; Bois de Cedre brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list geranium and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, amber and fresh spicy run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Bois de Cedre is moderate on both, Geranium Pour Monsieur moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGeranium Pour Monsieur first, then Bois de Cedre over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
