- Light over deepPour Homme Absolu brings aromatic and citrus; Lux brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and green run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pour Homme Absolu is long lasting and moderate, Lux moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLux first, then Pour Homme Absolu over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
