TarragonWhy it might work
- Light over deepL'Homme À la Rose brings citrus; Metropolis brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list musk and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, citrus, woody and aromatic run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Homme À la Rose is long lasting and moderate, Metropolis moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointL'Homme À la Rose first, then Metropolis over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
