- Light over deepL’Homme Idéal Cool brings green, aromatic and citrus; Greystone brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, woody and citrus run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for summer.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Greystone is long lasting and moderate, L’Homme Idéal Cool moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointGreystone 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.
