The blend
How the pair leans

- Light over deepL'Homme À la Rose brings citrus; No8 Opopanax brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber and woody run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put No8 Opopanax in winter and fall and L'Homme À la Rose in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: No8 Opopanax is eternal and moderate, L'Homme À la Rose long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointNo8 Opopanax first, then L'Homme À la Rose over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
