Why it might work
  • Light over deepL'Homme Ultime brings aromatic and citrus; Magician brings amber and woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
  • A shared threadFresh spicy, woody and warm spicy run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put L'Homme Ultime in spring and summer and Magician in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Homme Ultime is moderate on both, Magician moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
