- Light over deepHomme Anniversary brings citrus; Ouverture brings woody and amber. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list vanilla, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAmber, citrus, warm spicy and sweet run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for fall.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Ouverture is long lasting and moderate, Homme Anniversary long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointOuverture first, then Homme Anniversary over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
