Cashmere WoodWhy it might work
- Light over deepL'Homme Ultime brings aromatic and citrus; Mineral Cedar brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, aromatic, fresh spicy and citrus run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Mineral Cedar is moderate on both, L'Homme Ultime moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMineral Cedar first, then L'Homme Ultime over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
