- Light over deepThe Hedonist Musc brings citrus; Body Kouros brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- A shared threadAmber, woody, aromatic and vanilla run through both.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Body Kouros is long lasting and moderate, The Hedonist Musc moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointBody Kouros first, then The Hedonist Musc over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
