- Light over deepL'Homme Ultime brings aromatic and citrus; Rêve à trois brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list rose, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadWoody, warm spicy and rose run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Rêve à trois in winter and L'Homme Ultime in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Rêve à trois is moderate on both, L'Homme Ultime moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointRêve à trois 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.
