- Light over deepL'Homme Ultime brings aromatic and citrus; Escada en Fleurs brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, rose and cedar, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadCitrus, woody, rose and fresh run through both.
- Same seasonBoth are voted best for spring.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: L'Homme Ultime is moderate on both, Escada en Fleurs moderate on both, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointEscada en Fleurs 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.
